A brain network first identified by Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine researchers, called SCAN, is shown in a new study to be the neurological basis for Parkinson’s disease. Patients receiving treatments targeted to this brain region, rather than to surrounding areas, experienced greater improvements in symptoms.

A new study suggests Parkinson’s may stem from disruptions in a little-known brain network, reshaping how doctors think about the disease.

Analyses that include low-quality MRI data underestimate cortical thickness and overestimate surface area, according to new work from the ABCD Study.

Survey of hundreds of scientists’ work suggests that cutting off funding disrupts focus and reduces the novelty of research.

Nature Communications - The authors find the human red nucleus is functionally connected with action and motivated behavior networks, instead of motor-effector networks. They argue the red nucleus...

The human red nucleus may also help coordinate action, reward and motivated behavior, a new study suggests.

The brain enters an action-mode of function during goal-directed behaviour. In this Perspective, Dosenbach, Raiche and Gordon describe “action-mode” as an informative functional label that reduce...
