We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

If we can fully map the structure of our brains, will we be able to understand how they work? That is the goal of researchers attempting to build a wiring diagram, or connectome, of our neural ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) computer programs that process MRI results show differences in how the brains of men and women are organized at a cellular level, a new study shows. These variations were ...

Regrowing the human brain is no longer science fiction. Johns Hopkins engineer Annie Kathuria discusses her TEDx vision for ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

The neurological impact of adolescent football players subjected to head traumas is unclear. While American football might promote teamwork, repeated subconcussive blows can cause neurological ...

The symptoms of schizophrenia vary greatly from person to person. A new study shows how these differences manifest themselves in the structure of the brain. Schizophrenia is a complex mental health ...
