When a surprising experience contradicts our expectations, our brains can quickly adapt to the new circumstances and make decisions accordingly thanks to the anterior cingulate cortex.

Help your students create videos about the brain and nervous system.

Biomarkers can help doctors diagnose Alzheimer’s earlier, giving patients more time to pursue interventions to slow disease progression.

Artificial intelligence can guess what you’re thinking — but only if it has been trained using your own brain activity data.

Sunlight informs your circadian rhythm and trains you to sleep at night. Your cell phone light can throw this off balance and damage your sleep habits.
