Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

Using powerful 7-Tesla brain imaging, researchers mapped how the brainstem manages pain differently across the body. They discovered that distinct regions activate for facial versus limb pain, showing ...

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry signals within it and to the rest of the body. Growing axons "wire up" the brain ...

A single damaged protein inside one brain cell may seem insignificant. Yet new research shows how that small mistake can ripple outward, spreading harm across the brain. Scientists at the Technion – ...

Human pain, it turns out, is not just a product of modern stress or injury, but a legacy written deep into our DNA. New ...
