A spectroscopic liquid biopsy technique can detect both small and low-grade brain tumours

Now you can blame the primate brain. And neuroscientists are eager for a deeper look.

Science can solve the great mystery of consciousness – how physical matter gives rise to conscious experience – we just have to use the right approach, says neuroscientist Anil Seth

The AI uses algorithms to detect patterns in brain scans that are at times even missed by neurological experts.

Scientists have created key parts of synthetic brain cells that can hold cellular "memories" for milliseconds. The achievement could one day lead to computers that work like the human brain. These parts, which were used to model an artificial brain cell, use charged particles called ions to produce an electrical signal, in the same way that information gets transferred between neurons in your brain.

People synchronize in various ways when we interact with one another. We subconsciously match our footsteps when we walk. During conversations, we mirror each other's postures and gestures.

It’s a favorite first-order for the day, but while a quick coffee may perk us up, new research from the University of South Australia shows that too much could be dragging us down, especially when it comes to brain health.

In a medical first, researchers harnessed the brainwaves of a paralyzed man unable to speak and turned what he intended to say into sentences on a computer screen. It will take years of additional research but the study, reported Wednesday, marks an important step toward one day restoring more natural communication for people who can’t talk because of injury or illness.

The UCSF research taps a brain-computer interface to turn attempted speech into typing. It's funded by Facebook, which is shifting its own focus on neural tech.

Lawsuits filed Monday in California seek potential class-action damages from Dow Chemical and its successor company over a widely used bug killer linked to brain damage in children.

It turns out, psychedelic mushroom trips may change your life. A psychedelic drug called psilocybin, which shows up naturally in some mushrooms, has shown signs of increasing durable connections between neurons in mouse brains, according to a new study published in the journal Neuron.

Today, we'll be doing something quite rare which is spotlighting a startup. It's rare that we do that, but this is a startup we think is very important to know about. The startup is Kernel, one working on a human brain-machine interface.

Have you ever made a decision and wondered why you made it? Or wondered where your morality comes from? Renowned philosopher of mind and founder of Neurophilosophy Patricia Churchland takes us on a journey into the brain, the nature and data of morality and the origins of nonconscious decision-making.

Tilly Edinger was the first person to apply a deep-time perspective into different species' brain evolution. She did this by focusing on the hollow space within a dead animal's skull.

Researchers are trying to genetically re-engineer people’s retinas to restore vision.

How important are the contents of a dream? While some would say that they reflect the deepest desires of the dreamer, others insist they are best forgotten in the morning because they have no practical significance. Some people would even say that dreams reflect nothing but random firing of neurons (do they know what 'random' means?).

LSD opens new possibilities of your imagination.

Would you like to be hooked up to a device that lets you detect magnetic fields like a bird? How about sensing infrared light like a snake? Perhaps a feed of real-time stock market data into your mind is more your sort of thing. According to David Eagleman, a neuroscientist at Stanford University in California, it will soon be possible to make all this a reality.

Symptoms include hallucinations, muscle and brain atrophy and Capgras delusion, a belief that family members have been replaced by impostors.
