This functional MRI image of a human brain illustrates the connection between the insula (smaller brain image) and the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (larger brain image) as a result of cognitive ...

In a recent study published in eClinicalMedicine, researchers examined the structural brain changes in patients with post-COVID fatigue. Post-COVID syndrome (PCS) is defined as symptoms that last for ...

In experiments with healthy volunteers undergoing functional MRI imaging, scientists have found increased activity in two areas of the brain that work together to react to, and possibly regulate, the ...

"We plan to analyze these MRI structural measures longitudinally to determine if changes in brain volumes or lesion burden over time contribute to fatigue trajectories. More broadly, we might ...

When you're mentally exhausted, your brain might be doing more behind the scenes than you think. In a new study using functional MRI, researchers uncovered two key brain regions that activate when ...

The average adult makes approximately 35,000 decisions daily, from the mundane selection of breakfast cereals to consequential professional judgments. Yet this constant choosing exacts a toll that ...

Most people are well tuned in to the fact that their bodies can get worn out from too much exercise. However, generally, it does not seem that people think of the brain in the same way. But they ...

You probably know the feeling of the daily slump. At 2 p.m., your computer screen stares back at you while your brain says, “I’m done.” I’ve crossed that point of brain fatigue so many times—usually ...
