Brain activity is structured in space and time. The resulting activity patterns are conventionally thought to depend on an intricate web of anatomical connections that link specialized populations of ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

The Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) in the Institute of Basic Science (IBS), Suwon, Korea, is developing new neuroimaging approaches to explore biophysics, physiology, and biology, and ...

In a recent review published in the journal Cell Metabolism, a group of authors explored how Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonism shapes the neurovascular unit (NVU), potentially linking ...

An international research team has linked genes and brain anatomy with the human propensity for risky behaviors, such as smoking, alcohol and drug use, speeding, or frequently changing sexual partners ...

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...
