LSD alters brain activity and connectivity in key regions associated with pain processing, offering potential insights for pain management and the therapeutic use of psychedelics.

Neuroimaging reveals larger, healthier hippocampi in patients who speak two languages

Torture survivors show reduced brain connectivity in areas controlling attention, response inhibition, and motor functions, likely linked to PTSD symptoms. These changes highlight how torture deeply impacts cognitive processes and mental health.

A large-scale neuroimaging study found no evidence of atypical functional connectivity in the amygdala of individuals with autism, challenging previous hypotheses. Results suggest amygdala connectivity differences may not be a core feature of autism.

Men with psychiatric symptoms and more severe anhedonia showed increased functional connectivity between the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus and the nucleus accumbens, suggesting a neural basis for anhedonia linked to reward-processing brain regions.

A new neuroimaging study has revealed that viewing nature can help ease how people experience pain, by reducing the brain activity linked to pain perception. Published in the journal Nature Communications and led by a

A new brain imaging study finds that action video gamers may develop enhanced visual processing abilities, especially in spatial awareness and movement tracking.

Scientists have discovered that THC and CBD push the brain in opposite directions. A neuroimaging study in rats shows that THC boosts connectivity and blood flow, while CBD dampens brain signaling—and combining them creates a more balanced effect.

Increased brain-age gap correlating with the severity of a psychotic experience found in young adults

Scientists have discovered that poor sleep amplifies negative emotions in individuals with alcohol use disorder. Imaging shows that insomnia activates neural networks linked to rumination, suggesting sleep treatments could greatly improve emotional well-being…

Tau PET tracer selection influences the frequency of detection of tau pathology across
the ageing and Alzheimer's disease spectrum. Compared with [18F]flortaucipir, [18F]MK6240
identified more individuals with tau pathology in cognitively unimpaired and cognitively…

A new neuroimaging study reveals that teenagers who "outgrow" ADHD share the same brain chemistry development as teens who never had the disorder, while those with persistent ADHD show abnormal, rising levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate.

The boundary between them is not always clear.

Psychedelics are often associated with disconnecting from reality, but a recent neuroimaging study found that psilocybin can actually make our brain activity more connected to the world around us.

European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging - Dopaminergic signalling and glucose metabolism have been implicated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet in vivo evidence in the human...

How curious.

People who scored higher on a creative drawing test tended to have stronger white matter in pathways tied to movement and vision, according to a brain imaging study of 142 young adults in Austria.
