This year is the centennial anniversary of German psychiatrist Hans Berger's invention of electroencephalography (EEG), a way to record electrical activity in the brain, now called brainwaves or ...

Throughout the brain's cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show ...

A new study has found high frequency propagating activity patterns in the motor cortex that contain details of upcoming movement -- information that could lead to the development of better ...

A recent study published in The Journal of Neuroscience found that the psychedelic drug DMT pushes brain activity away from ...

First study to show that delivering information at the natural tempo of our neural pulses accelerates our ability to learn. Participants who got a simple 1.5-second visual cue at their personal ...

Sending weak electrical current into the brain for 20 minutes a day for four days in a row reversed declines in working and long-term memory that come with aging, scientists reported Monday in Nature ...
