The hypothalamus is a small region of the human brain typically associated with regulating body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and sleep. But it also has another important role: helping the ...

“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who ...

New USC research offers an unseen insight into how the brain shifts gears. The researchers discovered that our innate ability to make quick changes in motor function are the result of a unique brain ...

Elon Musk co-founded Neuralink in 2016 to develop brain-machine interfaces. The first product — the N1 implant — focuses on allowing patients with paralysis to control computer cursors with their mind ...

In an age where productivity and mental clarity are paramount, the demand for cognitive enhancement products has surged. Among these innovative solutions is Genius Switch, a supplement designed to ...

Habits can feel mysterious, arriving almost overnight or refusing to stick despite weeks of effort. New work on a “hidden switch” in the brain suggests those differences are not just about willpower, ...

Scientists have grown a tiny brain-like organoid out of human stem cells, hooked it up to a computer, and demonstrated its potential as a kind of organic machine learning chip, showing it can quickly ...

Brain–machine interfaces (BMIs) represent a transformative field at the intersection of neuroscience, engineering and computer science, allowing for direct communication between the brain and external ...

Researchers have identified a key neural switch that controls whether animals instinctively flee from a threat or freeze in place. By comparing two closely related deer-mouse species, they found that ...
