Chronic pain affects nearly one in five adults worldwide and remains one of the leading causes of disability. Unlike acute ...

In brains of control mice (left) and PD mice (right), from bottom to top: neuronal activity in a representative animal; cerebral blood flow mapping; fMRI of visual stimulation; fMRI of olfactory ...

Functional MRI studies have established that subjective feelings of pain and fatigue have objective correlates in terms of neuronal activity patterns. This study sought to determine whether neural ...

A new study of brain activity patterns in people doing a memory task finds that the way we make inferences changes dramatically as we age. Members of Alison Preston’s research group study fMRI brain ...

Researchers analyzed data from 857 patients across 36 fMRI brain imaging studies and mapped a common brain circuit for creativity. A new study led by researchers at Mass General Brigham suggests that ...

One way that some "biological" psychiatrists twist the truth in order to justify their belief that certain behavioral problems are due entirely to brain disorders involves the neuroscientists' new toy ...

Image captured with functional MRI shows the location in the brain's ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC) where an increase in neural altruism occurred for a group of women who wrote about gratitude ...

An international team, led by researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF), has shown—for the first time in a realistic way—that it may be possible to diagnose Parkinson's disease (PD) years before ...
