A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in retrieving different types of information, according to researchers from the School ...

Intrinsic neural attractors and extrinsic environmental inputs jointly steer the dynamic trajectories of brain activity ...

A new study shows how neurochemicals can influence blood vessels. The findings may change how researchers interpret results from functional magnetic resonance imaging studies. The brain is an ...

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

For three decades, functional neuroimaging (fMRI) has been shaping the understanding of the human brain. A major obstacle for fMRI research is that information about brain responses is mixed with ...

In a new study, investigators from McLean Hospital (a member of Mass General Brigham), Harvard Medical School and the National Institute on Drug Abuse – Intramural Research Program (NIDA-IRP) ...

A key challenge in the effort to link brain activity with behavior is that brain activity, measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), for instance, is extraordinarily complex. That ...

Using fMRI data collected from people viewing film clips, MIT neuroscientists created a comprehensive map of the cerebral cortex, identifying 24 networks that perform specific functions. The cerebral ...
