Researchers at the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a two-step mechanism by which the brain regulates blood volume—a breakthrough ...

Somatostatin neurons regulate astrocytes surrounding cerebral blood vessels, enabling more precise delivery of blood volume to specific brain regions, thereby enhancing the spatial accuracy of ...

University of Oregon scientists have looked into the brains of living mice to see in real time the processing of sensory information and generation of behavioral responses. To do so, researchers ...

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) captures coarse, colorful snapshots of the brain in action. Although this specialized type of magnetic resonance imaging has transformed cognitive ...

Dr Cowell’s research examines the neural and cognitive mechanisms of memory and visual perception. She studies the mechanisms of healthy cognition, as well as how these functions are disrupted by ...
