Your brain’s decision-making cortex keeps wiring itself until your mid-twenties
People between 18 and 25 can vote, enlist in the military, and sign binding contracts, yet the brain region responsible for ...
The somatosensory cortex is a brain region known to play a role in the detection of tactile information, changes in temperature, and pain sensations. Some recent studies found that this crucial brain ...
Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...

A new imaging tool just caught the brain waves that stitch inner thought and outside awareness together — the closest direct look yet at where consciousness lives
In May 2026, a team at Caltech did something no lab had done before: they pressed an ultrasound probe against a transparent ...
Under propofol general anesthesia, sensory input still reaches the brain, but signals do not spread. A new study suggests consciousness requires cortical regions to all be 'on the same page.' General ...
The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...
