Prefrontal cortex biopsies taken for research purposes during deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures appeared to be safe, new research has suggested. Investigators found no significant differences in ...

Researchers have discovered that parts of the human brain age more slowly than previously thought—particularly in the region that processes touch. By using ultra-high-resolution brain scans, they ...

An international team of scientists led by the University of Surrey has discovered that a form of safe, painless, and non-invasive brain stimulation could help people who are at risk of falling behind ...

Perhaps our most defining characteristic as a species, the six-layered human cortex, hosts billions of neural connections that bestow Homo sapiens with higher-order thinking. But how does this ...

Much criminal behavior derives from logical, if not laudable, sources. A wonderful example of this was seen in the old Bob Newhart television show. Newhart, playing a clinical psychologist, leans ...
