A new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience suggests that the human brain responds to colors in a way that is ...

For decades, scientists have worked to peer deeper into the brain. They have wanted to see not just surface activity in the cortex but also the hidden layers beneath, such as the hippocampus, where ...

Researchers have developed a noninvasive way of using bioluminescent optogenetics to activate parts of the brain. University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG ...

Our brains are wired to fill in perceptual gaps in what we see, whether it’s a lion hiding in the trees or the shapes hidden in an optical illusion — but how does that wiring work? Neuroscientists are ...

Can living beings, plants, animals, and even humans emit light, silently and invisibly, as a part of their biological processes? A recent study published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, ...

A new therapy is showing promise for the treatment of mental illness and neurodegenerative disorders. This treatment, which consists of a blue dye and red light, may improve disorders ranging from ...

Black Americans have been underrepresented in most genomic studies of neurological disorders. As a result of this disparity, there's a lot scientists don't know about whether African ancestry affects ...
