A recent report in Nature suggests that the stability of adult birdsong is maintained by error correction via an auditory feedback pathway involved in juvenile song ...

The human brain is a complex organ with over 80 billion neurons. But it can still trip up when it comes to multitasking.

In this study, we investigated whether these visuo-spatial difficulties could originate in a dysfunction of the visual cerebral pathways (i.e., dorsal and ... ventral stream brain areas are ...

Scientists have long theorized about a network of pathways in the brain that are believed to clear metabolic proteins that would otherwise build up and potentially lead to Alzheimer's and other ...

Imagine your brain has all these neural pathways connecting different responses. If you’re stuck in a traffic jam, and you feel angry, that fires a series of neurons together. The first time you ...

Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to build connections within itself, adapting to the surrounding environment. The brain ...

Three nerves carry taste signals to the brain stem: the chorda tympani nerve (from the front of the tongue), the glossopharyngeal nerve (from the back of the tongue) and the vagus nerve (from the ...

typically limits MP access to the brain, studies suggest that MPs can impair the BBB and lead to neurotoxic effects. The olfactory pathway, where neurons transmit sensory information to the brain ...

The glymphatic system, a long-theorized waste-clearing pathway in the brain, has been revealed for the first time in humans, in a new study by Oregon Health and Science University (OSHU) researchers.
