Brain scans show that certain cortical layers, especially in the touch-processing area, resist aging or even strengthen with time, suggesting that use and stimulation can preserve brain function far ...

Researchers have discovered that parts of the human brain age more slowly than previously thought—particularly in the region ...

New research shows that the brain organizes hand movements using a kind of “action alphabet” stored in the supramarginal ...

Of course, the previous understanding was not without debate. A phenomenon known as pervasive phantom limb syndrome calls ...

Deep inside your brain, the sense of touch is handled by a strip of tissue only a few millimeters thick. This area, known as the primary somatosensory cortex, processes every tactile signal that ...

"Impaired function after a stroke is due to cell loss, but also because of reduced activity in large parts of the connectome in the undamaged brain.

Researchers say the constant use of artificial intelligence is inhibiting crucial brain development in college students.

The most common cause of damage to the pons is a stroke that affects the brain stem. Other factors that can cause locked-in syndrome include: An infection of certain parts of the brain Damage to ...

Conventional wisdom among neuroscientists suggests that the brain's motor functions are organized around the body, meaning ...

Researchers found that motor regions in the brain are partly organized by action type rather than body part. Using fMRI scans ...

Beyond abstractions The metaphor of the brain as a computer also breaks down in areas we do fully understand. Computation is the transformation of an input into an output based on specific rules ...
