Strokes cause lesions that damage brain tissue, disrupt normal brain activity patterns and can lead to impairments in motor function. Although modulation of cortical activity is central to stimulation ...

Actual and imagined movement speed increases from early morning until mid-afternoon. Here, we investigated the neural correlates of these daily changes. Fifteen subjects performed actual and imagined ...

Our brain's fronto-parietal network is responsible for a range of highly diverse functions, from planning and executing movements to mental rotation, and from spatial attention to working memory. But ...

Almost half of patients who experienced a stroke in the right cerebral hemisphere later develop a very unusual symptom: they lose the ability to perceive what is happening in the left side of space.

Is paying attention to the things around us necessary to perceive them? This seemingly simple question is far from having a consensual answer. To decide between the various existing hypotheses, ...

Our brain’s frontoparietal network is responsible for a range of highly diverse functions, from planning and executing movements to mental rotation, and from spatial attention to working memory. But ...

Neuroscientists in Australia recently investigated the brain characteristics of dementia-free centenarians (95–103 years old) using resting-state fMRI neuroimaging. Their research question: "Is there ...

Two new studies link patterns of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the blood to the integrity of brain structures and cognitive abilities that are known to decline early in aging. The studies add to the ...
