Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

New research reveals that numbers in our visual field can subtly distort how we judge spatial positions, showing that perception is shaped by both numerical magnitude and object-based processing.

Researchers showed that a severe drop in NAD+—a core energy molecule—drives Alzheimer’s pathology in both human brains and mouse models.

Chronic circadian disruption — such as night-shift work, irregular schedules, or frequent jet lag — accelerates the ...

A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

Some individuals rely heavily on visual and sound cues when making decisions, and this sensitivity can lead to persistent maladaptive choices.

People instinctively mimic others’ facial expressions, but new research shows we do this far more with joyful faces than with sadness or anger—and that the intensity of mimicry predicts how much we ...

Guilt and shame arise from different cognitive triggers and rely on distinct neural systems to guide compensatory behavior.

A new study uncovers a precise brain pathway that rapidly converts emotional stress into sudden wakefulness during NREM sleep.

Depression and anxiety may heighten cardiovascular disease risk through chronic stress pathways in the brain and body.

Creativity is notoriously difficult to study as it unfolds, but musical improvisation offers a rare chance to watch spontaneous idea-generation in action.

A large 25-year study found that people who ate more high-fat cheese and high-fat cream had a lower risk of developing dementia, though the results only show an association—not proof of protection.
