Neurofeedback is a technique that has captured the public's imagination in recent years. The idea is simple: you learn to control your brain activity and that, in theory, leads to long-term behavioura...

Română On the sixth day of our science advent, we would like to talk about a debunked concept in neuroscience. The purpose of this prompt and of science debunking, in general, is not to make fun of ho...

There's more to it than the coolness factor.

No, it's not just stress.

Air pollution is increasingly recognized as having negative effects on brain health. Here we take a look at what those are.

In this post, we review the book "How Not to Study a Disease - The Story of Alzheimer's" by Prof. Karl Herrup.

A PhD might seem enticing, but is it the right choice for you?

Română The twelfth prompt of our science advent is asking us to take a look at a perhaps surprising factor that might impact neuroscience, namely climate change. There is mounting evidence that climat...

What does science say about this?

Română After an excruciatingly long week, the gifts are sitting nicely wrapped under the tree, the figgy pudding is gently resting on the table, your relatives finally figured out how to unmute themselves on Zoom and are now gesturing and blasting loudly from the small computer screen that can barely contain them anymore and you’re […]

Română The seventh science advent prompt is asking to engage in a bit of speculation and imagine how our field would have looked like, should a discovery or invention entered the game 100 years earlier. The obvious choice for us is the poster child of neuroimaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI, in brief. fMRI […]

I needed an excuse to make a word cloud shaped like a brain, and I finally found it.
