Researchers at the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a two-step mechanism by which the brain regulates blood volume—a breakthrough ...

Somatostatin neurons regulate astrocytes surrounding cerebral blood vessels, enabling more precise delivery of blood volume to specific brain regions, thereby enhancing the spatial accuracy of ...

University of Oregon scientists have looked into the brains of living mice to see in real time the processing of sensory information and generation of behavioral responses. To do so, researchers ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) captures coarse, colorful snapshots of the brain in action. Although this specialized type of magnetic resonance imaging has transformed cognitive ...

It would seem that being honest is an absolute, undebatable state. A person is either truthful or he’s not. Right? Consider this scenario: a shopkeeper mistakenly returns an extra $10 in change to a ...

On the right is a visualization of a healthy brain with intact cortical neuronal connections between the cortex and spinal cord, with brain areas active during volitional voiding of the bladder. The ...
