An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group provides measurable evidence that it can reshape how brain networks function.

Tobacco smoking is not associated with functional connectivity alterations in large-scale brain networks among individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis.

The human brain can concurrently support a wide range of advanced mental functions, including attention, memory and the processing of sensory stimuli. While past neuroscience studies have gathered ...

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 ...

The prevalence of congenital heart disease points to the need for a better understanding of how it influences neurodevelopment. Jung-Hoon Kim and Catherine Limperopoulos, from Children's National ...

There is a natural decline in sociability as a result of aging influenced by brain changes, new research shows. “Our study suggests that age-related changes in the functional wiring of the brain may ...

Babies with congenital heart disease have altered brain activity in regions involved in movement and emotions, but heart surgery restored these brain networks to healthy connectivity.

By growing miniature brain models from patient cells, researchers have identified distinct electrical activity patterns linked to various autism profiles. This approach offers a personalized way to ...
