The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Researchers have discovered how two brain areas, neocortex and thalamus, work together to detect discrepancies between what animals expect from their environment and actual events. These prediction ...

A new study reveals that alpha brain waves help the brain decide what belongs to your body. Faster rhythms allow the brain to match sight and touch more precisely, strengthening the feeling that a ...

Sensory overload is often about uncertainty and how long the brain has to stay engaged—especially in autism and ADHD.

An overstimulated ADHD brain can be chaotic, loud, and fatiguing. When there has been too much information all at once, the nervous system needs to be calmed. Simple, grounded techniques can help to ...
