Psychedelic drugs are being investigated as scientific and clinical tools, but the brain mechanisms behind their effects remain unclear. Earlier brain imaging studies in small cohorts from single ...

Human thought is driven by well-controlled dynamic interactions between large-scale neural circuits or networks, enabling a broad set of human behaviors. In this talk, I will discuss recent work using ...

From birth to the last moments of life, the human brain is known to change and evolve significantly, both in terms of its physical organization (i.e., structural connectivity) and the coordination ...

Within human neuroscience, recent advances have transformed our perspective on depression and anxiety, reframing them as conditions of network-level ...

A new study published in Translational Psychiatry has provided the most detailed look yet at how psilocybin affects brain activity in rodents. Researchers found that psilocybin produces widespread ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

The creative brain engages unconventional brain networks where the manifestation of divergent thinking emerges. A new study found when measuring connectivity within the brains of subjects, researchers ...

UT Dallas Cognition and neuroscience doctoral student Ezra Winter-Nelson (left) and Dr. Gagan Wig, associate professor of psychology at UT Dallas, have written an article for Proceedings of the ...

Scientists headed by a team at the University of Cambridge, University College London, the Francis Crick Institute, and Polytechnique Montréal have, for the first time, directly visualized and ...

New research shows a simple reason why even the most intelligent, complex brains can be taken by a swindler’s story—one that, upon a second look, offers clues it was false. When the brain fires up the ...
