Tobacco smoking is not associated with functional connectivity alterations in large-scale brain networks among individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis.

An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group provides measurable evidence that it can reshape how brain networks function.

Functional connectivity reveals brain attractors that match predictions of free‑energy‑minimizing attractor theory, yielding an interpretable generative model of brain dynamics in rest, task, and ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, perception, memory, language, and thought have been mapped onto distinct brain ...

Babies with congenital heart disease have altered brain activity in regions involved in movement and emotions, but heart surgery restored these brain networks to healthy connectivity.

Scientists discover that sickle cell disease forces the brain to recruit extra "attention backup" to maintain normal cognitive function.

Scientists have identified the brain networks that work together when people generate creative scientific ideas, according to a new study published in Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the ...

Exposure to high ambient temperatures is associated with lower connectivity in three brain networks in preadolescents, suggesting that heat may impact brain function. Exposure to high ambient ...

By growing miniature brain models from patient cells, researchers have identified distinct electrical activity patterns linked to various autism profiles. This approach offers a personalized way to ...
