Neural circuits link several brain regions together — shaping our behaviors, actions, thoughts, and emotions. Habits are formed when certain circuits are repeatedly activated and strengthened.

Various types of tics affect millions of people. A buildup of neurotransmitters in parts of the brain responsible for movement may be behind this neurological condition.

Seizures common in epilepsy disrupt the neural symphony orchestra performing in your brain. New advances in AI can help reveal novel treatments for the disorder.

Conspiracy theories take advantage of our pattern-seeking brains by grabbing attention, triggering strong emotions, and giving meaning to random events. Researchers think dopamine could be to blame when people forgo the facts for fiction.

Chronic loneliness harms our brains and bodies.

Specific damage to the brain can prevent you from producing intelligible speech.

Much like neural networks in the brain, artificial neural networks adjust the strength of their connections with repeated exposure to data to perform certain functions.

Bidirectional communication channels relay information between our gastrointestinal system and our brain, influencing reflexes, inflammation, and our mental health.

A flow state can occur during a period of intense focus, absence of worrying, high responsiveness, and dissipation of self-consciousness.

Similar to how plants in a garden grow, our brain needs certain elements for effective learning. AI technologies are built to grow in a similar way, with some systems helping doctors identify cancers.
