Recent research has shed light on the complex neural processes that transition our brains from sleep to wakefulness, illuminating how specific brain regions activate to restore consciousness and ...

Dr Peter Verheyen discusses the transition from quantum-scale events to the emergence of subjective consciousness ...

Brett Kagan, Chief Scientific Officer at Cortical Labs, commented: “This breakthrough is a major step forward in not only how we study and understand diseases and drugs that are designed to treat ...

We've been taught to distrust our inner worlds. Scientific rigor demands external measurement, controlled experiments, objective instruments. Introspection seems subjective, unreliable—the antithesis ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

Neuroscientists from around the world have worked in parallel to map, for the first time, the entire brain activity of mice while they were making decisions. This achievement involved using electrodes ...

First and foremost, we breathe in order to absorb oxygen - but this vital rhythm could also have other functions. Over the past few years, a range of studies have shown that respiration influences ...
