A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association has provided valuable insights into the effects of cannabis use on brain activation, particularly in relation to cognitive ...

University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG, or bioluminescent optogenetics, that harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain. The ability to regulate ...

Increasing activity in a deep-brain region can boost the immune system’s response to vaccines —and people can be trained to ...

Researchers have developed a noninvasive way of using bioluminescent optogenetics to activate parts of the brain. University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG ...

In a recent study published in the journal JAMA Network Open, a group of researchers investigated the associations between lifetime heavy cannabis use, recent use, and brain activation during ...

Functional MRI studies have established that subjective feelings of pain and fatigue have objective correlates in terms of neuronal activity patterns. This study sought to determine whether neural ...

What does forgiveness look like in the brain? As a neuroscientist, I am always looking for the biological underpinnings of mental processes—not as an effort to distill mystery into molecules, but to ...
