New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

In the split second that is needed to view a stop sign and react to it, our brain navigates a complex process that transitions seamlessly from perception to action control. This ability to halt or ...

Bursts of brain rhythms with 'beta' frequencies control where and when neurons in the cortex process sensory information and plan responses. Studying these bursts would improve understanding of ...

In this comprehensive study, researchers employed dynamic causal modeling (DCM-PEB) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with a substantial sample size (n = 250) to explore inhibitory ...

To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...

Researchers at the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a two-step mechanism by which the brain regulates blood volume—a breakthrough ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." A small lab-based study found that a 12-week cycling program improved inhibitory control over six weeks.

From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...

A small lab-based study found that a 12-week cycling program improved inhibitory control over six weeks. This adds to the evidence that exercise can be an effective strategy for improving cognitive ...

Most of us have heard about portion control, but few have stopped to really consider what it means. It’s easy to assume it’s just about eating less, but the truth goes deeper. Portion control is tied ...
