The brain is more mechanically connected to the body than previously appreciated, scientists report in Nature Neuroscience. Through a study using mice and simulations, the team found a potential ...

We have long known that staying physically active helps keep the mind sharp, but the exact mechanical reasons behind this ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a hidden "movement map" deep within the brain - a discovery that could help surgeons reduce side effects from epilepsy procedures and guide future treatments ...

Neuroscientists have observed for the first time how structures deep in the brain are activated when the brain becomes aware of its own thoughts, known as conscious perception. The brain is constantly ...

Using microCT scanning, which allows for high-resolution imaging of an organism's internal structures, and other imaging techniques, researchers found that a network of veins serve as a mechanical ...
