Striatal dopamine (DA) release regulates reward-related learning and behavioural activation and is believed to consist of a short-lived phasic and continuous tonic component. Here, we build a ...

Using a novel deep learning approach, we evaluated the predictive power of the functional connectome during various states (resting state, movie-watching, and n-back) on episodic memory and working ...

Coronal brain slice showing projections from different visual areas in the cerebral cortex to the ventrolateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN). These pathways are part of the circuit identified as ...

Feb. 4, 2025 – Microplastics have been found in the brain, showing they can cross the blood-brain barrier, and the amounts of the tiny plastic bits inside our bodies appear to be increasing at a ...

Elon Musk wants to merge humans with AI. And his goal of achieving "symbiosis" with artificial intelligence starts with a brain chip. Neuralink, a company Musk co-founded, is testing linking ...

The amount of microplastics in the human brain appears to be increasing over time: Concentrations rose by roughly 50 percent between 2016 and 2024, according to a new study Sarah Kuta Daily ...

Drunken Philip Beff attacked his neighbour with a sword after the pair spent the day drinking together. The 53-year-old answered the door aggressively when his neighbour knocked on at 1.30am to ...

Cognitively normal human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior, according to a new study. Overall ...

Seventeen contiguous sagittal 7-mm-thick slices were acquired to provide coverage of the entire brain. Scanning was synchronized with the onset of the first tone so that 7 images were acquired ...

This is important for reasoning, decision-making, and controlling our behavior. Researchers from institutions in the US and Canada looked at surveys and brain imaging scans of 1,003 young adults, ...

Researchers found that heavy cannabis use reduces brain activity during working memory tasks, leading to cognitive struggles. Brain scans showed changes in regions responsible for memory and ...
