Researchers say brain circuits associated with our sense of smell and reward systems may cause some people to continue to eat even when they're full. They say their findings could help with weight management strategies.
Neuroscientists have documented brain activity that helps maintain 'wakefulness.' They hope their new consciousness study will one day help coma and seizure patients
In a paper titled, "Multimodal MRI reveals brainstem connections that sustain wakefulness in human consciousness," published today in Science Translational Medicine, a group of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, and Boston Children's Hospital, created a connectivity map of a brain network that they propose is critical to human consciousness.
Using neuroimaging, researchers identified a brain network crucial to human consciousness.
The University of Minnesota Medical School received a $16 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative to support the groundbreaking project of unraveling the mysteries of the brain's 'wiring diagram.'
