Scientists have used a specially engineered virus to help track the brain changes caused by psilocybin in mice, revealing how ...

Most of us know the feeling: you lie in bed replaying the same scenario, asking the same "what if?" questions, and no matter how many times you turn it over, your mind won't let it go. This is the ...

Diverse sensory and cognitive functions rely on complex and dynamic neural interactions between cortical and subcortical brain areas to coordinate incoming inputs and feedback processes, creating ...

By combining psilocybin with a modified rabies virus that tracks neural connections, they mapped how networks change after a ...

A stressful year leads to anxiety. Lasting isolation gives way to depression. An old trauma nags until it becomes paralyzing.

A newly identified part of a brain circuit mixes sensory information, memories, and emotions to tell whether things are familiar or new, and important or just "background noise." Led by researchers ...

New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.

Inside your skull, your brain hums along with its own unique pattern of activity, a neural fingerprint that’s yours and yours alone. A heavy dose of psilocybin temporarily wipes the prints clean. The ...
