A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. A study now identifies, ...

The brain is never completely at rest. Even without external input, it produces spontaneous neural activity that creates synchronized fluctuations across different regions - a process known as ...

A lot of brain development happens early in life, but researchers don't have a strong understanding of how a baby's brain ...

We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

A single dose of psilocybin temporarily disrupts and reshapes brain networks, effects that persist for weeks, potentially explaining its unique promise as a psychiatric therapy. Study: Psilocybin’s ...
