MRI signals don’t always match the brain’s true activity levels, overturning a core assumption used in tens of thousands of studies.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) captures coarse, colorful snapshots of the brain in action. Although this specialized type of magnetic resonance imaging has transformed cognitive ...

A new study using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) reveals the neural mechanisms that contribute to urinary incontinence, a common condition affecting stroke survivors that has a ...

University of Oregon scientists have looked into the brains of living mice to see in real time the processing of sensory information and generation of behavioral responses. To do so, researchers ...

Researchers at the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a two-step mechanism by which the brain regulates blood volume—a breakthrough ...

It would seem that being honest is an absolute, undebatable state. A person is either truthful or he’s not. Right? Consider this scenario: a shopkeeper mistakenly returns an extra $10 in change to a ...

Somatostatin neurons regulate astrocytes surrounding cerebral blood vessels, enabling more precise delivery of blood volume to specific brain regions, thereby enhancing the spatial accuracy of ...
