It has long been known as the arbiter of reward in the brain, but recent findings could upend this classic theory of dopamine ...

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the ...

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?

A growing body of neuroscience research is challenging a basic assumption about how the brain produces awareness. Where conventional theories treat consciousness as a product of neuronal firing alone, ...

Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, bridging the gap between genetics and electrical brain activity.

SAN DIEGO — Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of neuroscience, enabling scientific breakthroughs previously out of reach. New applications of AI and machine learning techniques ...

We have long been told a simple story about reward: Dopamine is the "wanting" molecule that drives us toward goals, and ...

Researchers link glymphatic system (brain waste-clearance) dysfunction in childhood to the future development of psychosis and chemical imbalances.

A small region of the brain, known as the ventral tegmental area (VTA), plays a key role in how we process rewards. It produces dopamine, a neuromodulator that helps predict future rewards based on ...

WPI researchers have used a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze anatomical changes in the brain and predict ...

Over 22 million Americans are diagnosed with ADHD — yet an objective biological marker for distinguishing between its three distinct subtypes ...
