Because we can’t possibly absorb every single stimulus, our brain lets some signals filter through to our consciousness. But where in the brain does that take place? | Continue reading
Seemingly straight out of 'Eternal Sunshine', scientists have developed a technique to erase pain from bad memories using machine learning and neural data. | Continue reading
Studies in at least three countries — France, U.S., and Germany — support the idea that certain antidepressants can be an effective early treatment for Covid-19. | Continue reading
MaryLiz Bender visited a simulation of life on Mars, and it opened her eyes to what is missing. | Continue reading
There are more similarities to George A. Romero and our current pandemic than meet the eye. Undead, move over. Make way for the unsick. | Continue reading
SpaceX has released its terms of service to beta testers, and it makes a strong statement about Mars' future government. | Continue reading
Chances are, you've never done it in your sleep. | Continue reading
Scientists find learning music early in life actually makes the brain more structurally and functionally connected. | Continue reading
Scientists have long argued over how different male and female brains really are. But these differences are partly down to social norms and expectations | Continue reading
In 2019, the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft crash-landed on the Moon. Along for the ride were thousands of tardigrades. | Continue reading
Studies on the central lateral thalamus might lead to new therapies for people dealing with brain traumas, injuries, or disorders of consciousness. | Continue reading
After a "fair amount of trial and error," scientists determined LSD binds to a protein containing a specific amino acid. | Continue reading
A study released in "ENeuro" shows that factual language is registered differently in the brain compared to uncertain language. | Continue reading
A short time ago in a galaxy very, very near to here, I set out on a mission to find a movie classic. | Continue reading

SpaceX's internet connection service is expected to get rural communities online, but will it help sea-faring net surfers too? | Continue reading
Named for a mythological Chinese chimera, Kylinxia zhangi, a newly described fossilized arthropod, possesses some of the weirdest bits of other early arthropods. | Continue reading
Researchers reveal they misidentified a fossil encased in amber. Originally thought to be a chameleon, the creature is instead a kind of amphibian. | Continue reading
Scientists uncovered why good music gives us the chills. The effect of music on the brain also suggests that music has an ancient "ancestral function." | Continue reading
Every society has a tipping point. | Continue reading
Scientists discovered how LSD binds to the brain and activates receptors that underpin a trip. These findings could be used to create specific LSD therapies. | Continue reading
Researchers looked at 300 moderate drinkers between the ages of 39 and 45 to understand the effects of alcohol on the brain. | Continue reading
