When a person loses a hand to amputation, nerves that control sensation and movement are severed, causing dramatic...
When becoming literate neuroplasticity conquers a network that is deeply rooted in the brain. This reorganisation makes us more and more efficient in visually navigating through letter strings.

Our sense of vision and smell alone are enough to make us aware that someone has a disease even before it breaks out. And not only aware – we also act upon the information and avoid sick people.

A team of University of Pennsylvania neuroscientists showed for the first time that electrical stimulation delivered when memory is predicted to fail can improve memory function in the human brain. Here, the blue dots indicate overall electrode placement; the...

The title is direct, "Would you deliver an electric shock in 2015?" and the answer, according to the results of this...
The scans show that stimulation 'in beat' increases brain activity in the regions involved in task performance. On the other hand, stimulation 'out of beat' showed activity in regions usually associated with resting.Credit: Ines Violante

Itching is a highly contagious behavior. When we see someone scratch, we're likely to scratch, too. New research from the Washington University Center for the Study of Itch shows contagious itching is hardwired in the brain. Credit: Michael Worful

Music, more than any art, is a beautiful mix of science and emotion. It follows a set of patterns almost mathematically to extract feelings from its audience. Machines that make music...
