Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) transport is crucial for clearing waste from the brain and is largely driven by blood vessel oscillatory dynamics. During non-REM sleep, large oscillations occur in the infra...

Adaptive decision-making in dynamic environments requires flexible adjustment of learning speed to balance stability and flexibility. When outcomes...

Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck. A bot may be to blame

An editor resigned from a Frontiers journal after an automated AI tool overrode his expert reviewer invitations, claiming the system undermines academic integrity.

The Trump administration’s theory of how the federal government should work is a threat to American science.

The arrangement of locus coeruleus neurons in mice points to how the structure mediates specific effects across the brain, a new study shows.

Some units at the US funding giant are so understaffed, they are focusing on mandated grant renewals rather than new awards.

The University of Southern California (USC), founded in 1880, is located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles and is the largest private employer in the City of Los Angeles. USC is consistently ranked...

Last week, the Trump Administration decided not to appeal the most recent court ruling on the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) indirect costs policy. This

An age-old problem might have a surprisingly simple solution

Neuroimaging studies have shown that age-related dysregulation of the locus coeruleus-noradrenaline (LC-NA) system is associated with cognitive declin…

Taking a radical new approach to the publication process resulted in eLife losing its impact factor, but authors, reviewers, editors and funders support the journal and its efforts to reform scientifi...

The Anti-Autocracy Handbook is a call to action, resilience, and collective defence of democracy, truth, and academic freedom in the face of mounting authoritarianism. It tries to provide guidance to ...

Oscillatory coupling between respiration, heart rate, and cortical function is fundamental to physiological regulation yet remains poorly characterized in humans. Diminished respiratory heart rate var...

While the respiratory rhythm is increasingly recognized as a key modulator of oscillatory brain activity across the wake-sleep cycle in humans, very l…

Viewing brain function through the lens of other physiological processes has critically added to our understanding of human cognition. Further advances though may need a closer look at the interactions between these physiological processes themselves. Here we characterize the interplay of the highly …

Nature Neuroscience - Functional connectivity analyses using ultra-high precision 7 Tesla functional MRI identified a unified system for allostasis and interoception that included more than 96% of...

Prior research suggests that meditation may slow brain aging and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, we lack research systematically examining what aspect(s) of meditation may drive ...
