Monkey experiments hint at a "motivation brake" pathway between two brain regions. Manipulating it may lead to new treatments ...

When we learn a new skill, our brain forms new connections between the neurons. The more we do the new skill, the stronger ...

A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation ...

Scientists have uncovered a way to manipulate the pathway in monkey brains that puts the brakes on motivation.

New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

It might feel like you’re getting a lot done, but this sort of chronic multitasking isn’t necessarily working in your favor. ...

This comprehensive review synthesizes a decade of human and animal research to explain how the gut and brain communicate ...
