University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG, or bioluminescent optogenetics, that harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain. The ability to regulate ...

Researchers identified in mice a microbiome–gut–brain pathway in which age-associated changes in gut microbes increase medium-chain fatty acids that impair vagal sensory signaling and hippocampal ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence that repeated training reshapes specific brain circuits in ways that may be essential for building endurance. Credit: Stock Endurance improvements from exercise ...

Researchers have developed a noninvasive way of using bioluminescent optogenetics to activate parts of the brain. University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG ...

Functional MRI studies have established that subjective feelings of pain and fatigue have objective correlates in terms of neuronal activity patterns. This study sought to determine whether neural ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to observe how the pupils react during sleep over a period of several hours. A look under the eyelids showed them that more happens in the brain during ...

It is proven that physical exercise supports a healthy body and mind. What is increasingly becoming popular is that certain types of movement, apart from shaping the body and also reshape the brain.

After a brain stem stroke left him almost entirely paralyzed in the 1990s, French journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby wrote a book about his experiences—letter by letter, blinking his left eye in response ...
