For decades, scientists have worked to peer deeper into the brain. They have wanted to see not just surface activity in the cortex but also the hidden layers beneath, such as the hippocampus, where ...

Miami, Florida - February 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - The Light System (TLS), a light and frequency technology ...

That sharp flinch during a violent movie scene is familiar to many people. A hand slams, a body falls, and your own muscles ...

VIB and Ghent University researchers have identified and characterized a previously unknown cellular barrier in the brain, which sheds new light on how the brain is protected from the rest of the body ...

The brain is the most energy-demanding organ in the body, in part due to its complexity. Its components are varied and intricate: comprising different cell types, including neurons designed to ...

Scientists have built a soft, wireless Implant that lets the brain interpret patterned light as if it were a new kind of touch, turning beams into information the cortex can actually use. Instead of ...

For decades, scientists have used near-infrared light to study the brain in a noninvasive way. This optical technique, known as fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy), measures how light is ...

To test the system, the team used mice engineered to have light-responsive cortical neurons. They trained the mice to associate a particular pattern of brain stimulation with a reward. In a series of ...

In context: Marshal Brain created the HowStuffWorks website as a hobby in 1998. To his surprise, the site became a go-to for the layman wanting to understand complex processes and systems in ...
