Scientists once viewed the thalamus largely as a relay station: a kind of biological switchboard routing sensory information ...

When pain strikes from multiple sources—such as a paper cut followed by contact with hot water—the experience can feel disproportionately intense. But is this agony merely additive, or does the brain ...

Neuropsychology researchers at LMU have discovered a rhythm in the midbrain that could serve as a bio-physiological signature for specific states of consciousness. The thalamus is a deep-lying ...

It is not simply a system for thinking; it is the body’s main source of control and communication. The nervous system is ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

A new advanced imaging study led by scientists from the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London (ICL), has looked at what happens in people's brains when they take the potent ...

New research reveals that prolonged stress alters brain function, reducing sensitivity to sound over time. This study uncovers how the brain adapts to chronic stress, prioritizing other senses while ...

Neuroscientists discover the tricks and shortcuts the brain takes to help us survive. Is what you see real? Join neuroscientist Heather Berlin on a quest to understand how your brain shapes your ...

How does Jannik Sinner manage to hit the ball at exactly the right moment, with remarkable precision? And how do we, in everyday life, perceive the duration of events around us? The answer lies in how ...

Researchers have long assumed that the brain controls our sense of time. A new study suggests the heart plays an important role. By Ellen Barry It is a truism that ...
