New research has discovered that a neural circuit may explain procrastination. Scientists were able to disrupt this ...

Japanese scientists say the reason why you keep procrastinating is because of your brain's "motivation brake." ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

Optogenetics has long been a powerful experimental tool, but a growing body of research suggests it may now be approaching a ...
