Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

This functional connectivity map, a kind of “fingerprint” of the brain, displays how different regions interact with each other in 12-year-olds. The map was constructed from resting-state MRIs, where ...

It’s a cruel fact of life that we’re really not as unique as we think we are — apart from one crucial exception: the tiny ridges of our fingertips. Discovered by physician Marcello Malpighi in the ...

Past psychology research suggests that different people display characteristic patterns of spontaneous thought, emotions and behaviors. These patterns make the brains of distinct individuals unique, ...

Most of the time, people breathe automatically, without conscious thought. But the rate and depth of breathing is actually regulated by a complex system in the brainstem that processes information ...

WASHINGTON (July 30, 2024) — A study led by Georgetown University neuroscientists reveals that the part of the brain that receives and processes visual information in sighted people develops a unique ...

Take a big inhale through your nose. Now, exhale. Breathing may seem simple, but it's controlled by a complex brain network. Each inhale gives the human brain information about the external world. And ...

REHOVOT, Israel — Forget fingerprints and facial recognition – researchers have discovered that the way you breathe through your nose is so unique, it can identify you with stunning accuracy. A ...

Researchers have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes as the ever-changing neuronal ...

Using MRI scans from 352 schizophrenia patients, researchers found widespread reductions in structural similarity across several brain regions. These disruptions tracked with symptom severity, ...

Michaela Cordova, a research associate and lab manager at Oregon Health and Science University, begins by “de-metaling”: removing rings, watches, gadgets and other sources of metal, double-checking ...
