Dissecting the unique influence of both sex and gender on brain development, function, and disease remains a critical challenge for neuroscientists.

The junction between the cortex and the brainstem highlights the center of our emotions.

It’s hard to describe what an emotion is — let alone how many of them there are or whether everyone experiences the same ones. But we do know this: emotions arise from activity in distinct parts of the brain.

Scientists continue to learn about the neurobiology and architecture of the different types of memory.

Péter Somogyi, György Buzsáki, and Tamás Freund earned the inaugural Brain Prize in 2011 for their cataloging and mapping of the brain’s inhibitory circuits.

Largely by design, the features that make smartphones convenient and fun also make them addictive.

Gregory Berns, a neuroscientist at Emory University, and his team are training dogs to hop into an MRI scanner to better understand how the dog mind works.

To understand dementia, scientists are looking anew at a neglected piece of the puzzle: the web of blood vessels nourishing the brain.

The neuroscientist discusses how creative thinking led to some of his most groundbreaking discoveries.

The introduction of the post-traumatic stress disorder diagnosis in 1980 affirmed that traumatic experiences, even absent physical injury, could have enduring consequences for brain function and mental health.
