Scientists have uncovered a powerful strategy that the brain uses to coordinate chemical signaling. In a new study, ...

Acetylcholine "conductors" in the striatum directly trigger serotonin release, offering new insights into the origins of OCD and chemical imbalances.

Scientists have found a particularly interesting way that the brain orchestrates its chemical signaling. A newly invented scientific technique shows, for the first time, how one neurological chemical ...

A new study provides insight on how the brain processes external input such as touch, vision or sound from different sources and sides of the body, in order to select and generate adequate movements.

Neuroscientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), University of Pennsylvania, and California State University, have established the existence of a biological difference ...

Researchers have reported findings that add to our knowledge of how human behavior may be shaped by the default mode network, a specific network of brain regions with both resting and task-related ...

Changing our behavior based on unexpected cues from our environment is an essential part of survival. The ability to drop what you're doing when circumstances demand it could mean the difference ...
