An international team of researchers has built a biophysically realistic whole-brain model to explain the impact of psilocybin on the brain. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the ...
The brain jiggles when the heart beats, and now, researchers have found a way to use that motion to better study the differences between types of neurons. In a study appearing March 10 in the journal Cell Reports, researchers ...
