Flipping the switch on fewer than 500 neurons dramatically reduces the alcohol consumption of mice. This novel finding could ...

Rutgers scientists have uncovered a tug-of-war inside the brain between hunger and satiety, revealing two newly mapped neural circuits that battle over when to eat and when to stop. These findings ...

Still, to ask whether the human brain is hardwired to believe in god “sort of implies a hardwirer,” says Dr. Andrew Newberg, a professor in the Department of Integrative Medicine and ...

This cover image depicts a human brain with colorful microplastic particles scattered across its surface, juxtaposed with a white plastic spoon as a visual representation. Research has revealed that ...

A study of 20,000 anxiety disorder patients shows how negativity bias affects brain structure, cognitive function and mental health, supporting the view that mental illness is brain illness.

A 2023 study found that shorter sleep duration causes reduced brain cortical thickness. Sleep disorders increase the risk of Alzheimer’s, stroke, and cognitive decline. Chronic sleep deprivation ...
