Using an experimental technique called "Oz," researchers stimulated the human retina such that people saw a brand-new color.

Using advanced microscopes that capture brain cell anatomy and activity, a portion of a mouse's brain was mapped and rendered into a 3D atlas that creates new possibilities for neuroscience.

The female sex hormone estrogen, along with progesterone, appears to underlie a fundamental difference in how males and females process pain, a mouse study finds.

Using a mathematical model, scientists explored how the human brain might represent information about physical spaces and about people, places and things. Turns out, it may process both in a similar way.

Researchers have used a mind-reading brain implant to continuously play a paralyzed person's thoughts through a speaker, allowing them to talk again.

Under extreme metabolic conditions, like a marathon, the brain may turn to cellular fat stores to maintain function, according to a new study.

A study of thousands of people finds that neural connections in the brain start to break down quickly around age 44, but the research hints that ketone supplements could potentially help slow that brain aging.
