Flexible control of movement timing is essential for behavior, relying on an adjustable timer in the brain. By measuring and manipulating activity in interacting brain regions, scientists could pause ...

A multi-year MRI study has found that maintaining lower levels of visceral fat over time is associated with slower brain ...

Your Ancient Brain Doesn't Know You're Safe When turbulence strikes, your brain immediately activates what scientists call ...

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...

Displayed on a wall in my study is a diagram taken from a children’s encyclopedia dating from the 1930s. It’s labeled “The Central Control Station of Your Body,” and consists of a cutaway view of the ...

Using powerful 7-Tesla brain imaging, researchers mapped how the brainstem manages pain differently across the body. They discovered that distinct regions activate for facial versus limb pain, showing ...

Every four years at the Cybathlon, teams of researchers and technology “pilots” compete to see whose brain-computer interface holds the most promise. Owen Collumb, a Cybathlon race pilot who has been ...

Nothing rivals the human brain's complexity. Its 86 billion neurons and 85 billion other cells make an estimated 100 trillion ...

Paralyzed patient Alex Conley uses Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain-computer interface to control a robotic arm and fly a drone ...

Researchers at Pennington Biomedical Research Center provide critical insight into how the brain and body work together to ...
