Brain signatures for chronic pain identified in small group of individuals
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers have recorded pain-related data from inside the brains of people suffering from chronic pain issues caused by stroke or amputation (phantom limb pain) for the first time. Understanding how pain is represented by brain activity and how to modify that activity to treat chronic pain

Memories might be lost if two crucial brain areas fail to sync: Research
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Many unique groups of neurons connected inside and across crucial areas of the brain aid in learning, remembering, and retrieving memories. A recent study led by the universities of Bristol and Heidelberg showed that if these neuronal assemblies fail to sync up at the correct time, memories

Brain area thought to impart consciousness, behaves instead like Internet
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The legendary scientist Francis Crick first postulated in 2005 that the brain region known as the claustrum is the seat of consciousness. Researchers now posit that Crick may have been incorrect: They developed a new theory built on data that the claustrum behaves more like a high-speed Inte
