When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

A comprehensive map of the brain's "dysfunctome"—the regions that become dysfunctional during various neurological conditions—has been created by neuroscientists for the first time. The research ...

Scientists have achieved a feat once believed impossible, constructing the largest functional map of a brain to date, which they believe could eventually lead to the discovery of medications for ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have found that the brain holds a ‘map’ of the body that remains unchanged even after a limb has been amputated, contrary to the prevailing view that it ...

Scientists have created an incredibly detailed 3D brain map of a fly's brain, and it's probably one of the coolest things that you'll see this year. While it might not be a map of the human brain, ...

The ‘mental number line’ theory doesn’t appear to hold up vertically. In A Nutshell When people viewed vertical lines filled ...

Doidge (2010), referring to a study undertaken by Michael Merzenich et al. (1983), found that “[w]hen it came to allocating brain‑processing power,” the brain allocated “[its] neurological resources” ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

The fourth principle of the Feldenkrais Method, “Differentiation: the smallest sensory distinctions between movements build maps,” is a central tenet in understanding how movement, perception, and the ...

Trying to map the brain has always been cartography for fools. Most of the other parts of the body reveal their workings with little more than a glance. The heart is self-evidently a pump; the lungs ...
