Blue Brain Project discovers a universe of multidimensional structures and spaces within our brain.

It is increasingly common to find publications that equate the nervous system of the digestive system with the brain.

A new study shows how the visual cortex of the brain helps us to anticipate events that will occur in the immediate future.

In evolutionary terms, the priority is to develop a large brain, and then the areas specialized in different capacities.

Disorders such as anxiety, depression, or drug addiction may have their origin in the delicate bond between painful and positive experiences. Thus, the brain circuits that manage events on both sides can cancel each other out, with positive and negative experiences connected. Its imbalance is what would cause this type of disorder. It is one of the conclusions of the latest study carried out by a team of neuroscientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and collected by the journal Nature.

In this new installment of the series dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the brain, we are going to talk about neuroevolution.

A new study suggests that dopamine-producing neurons are the ones that speed up and stop the subjective sensation of the passage of time.

The left hemisphere of the brain is the creative side, while the right hemisphere is responsible for emotions.
