Neuroimaging research has found that psilocybin increases self-inhibition in visual brain regions and enhances top-down connectivity, leading to vivid, internally generated visual imagery with eyes closed.

New research has found significant sex-related differences in brain microstructure, particularly in regions like the hippocampus, thalamus, and amygdala, which were linked to varying susceptibilities to mental health disorders between males and females.

How do our brains react differently in love versus friendship? New research explores the neural dynamics that might explain the deeper emotional connection between romantic partners, offering fresh insights into the science of relationships.

A new technology that uses light waves to measure activity in babies’ brains has provided the most complete picture to date of functions like hearing, vision and cognitive processing outside a

A new study provides insights into the brain processes involved in nonverbal communication of pain, specifically facial expressions.

Researchers found that interoceptive awareness—the ability to sense internal bodily states—predicts whether people’s moral judgments match group norms. Brain scans revealed that resting-state activity in specific brain regions mediates this relationship.

By understanding differences in how people’s brains are wired, clinicians may be able to predict who would benefit from a self-guided anxiety care app, according to a new analysis from a clinical trial led by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian…

This crossover trial compares the accuracy of resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy vs standard field sobriety testing to detect ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) impairment among adults who use cannabis.

By combining two imaging techniques, Lihong Wang and his colleagues have developed a tool that can image blood vessels, in color, while still being able to clearly detect tissue morphology

A recent brain imaging study reveals that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder consists of at least two distinct physical subtypes. This discovery suggests that patients may eventually benefit from highly personalized treatments based on their unique…

Molecular Psychiatry - The dynamics of AMPA receptors underlies the efficacy of ketamine in treatment resistant patients with depression

A large-scale brain imaging study of over 800 incarcerated men reveals that highly psychopathic individuals possess an expanded cortical surface area and a compressed physical brain organization, offering new clues into the biology of empathy and antisocial…

A new study suggests that a teenager's brain response to minor setbacks changes how impulsivity relates to future suicidal thoughts. Highly impulsive youth with highly active anterior insula regions faced a higher risk.

A new brain imaging study has found no evidence of widespread brain inflammation in patients suffering from prolonged symptoms after COVID-19 infection.

A different path than antidepressants alone.

As two people with considerably different symptoms may receive the same depression diagnosis, researchers wanted to determine whether this individuality also manifests in brain activity.

Why do some people with depression respond to medication while others don't? A small study points to the brain's outer layer, finding that the folding complexity and thickness of certain cortical regions tracked how much patients improved.
