Ask a second-grade student a basic addition problem, and he or she will likely start counting on fingers and toes. As the student ages, counting to solve basic problems will (hopefully) be replaced by mental math and recall. MRIs of young children have now revealed the transformation that takes place inside the brain as these skills develop.

From age 7 months to 12 months, babies undergo a huge transition in language development. Researchers from the University of Washington are now conducting the most detailed look at neural activity when infants listen to speech using magnetoencephalography.

People who have taken psilocybin, the compound primarily responsible for the psychedelic effects of certain mushrooms, display a similar pattern of brain activity as seen during dreams when imaged by functional MRI, according to a researchers from Imperial College London.

Researchers from the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto are turning their attention to helping soldiers from combat cope with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Following the herd may lead you to make less moral decisions, as people exhibit less activity in the medial prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain tasked with reflection and morality, when they become part of a team.

Brain injuries affect roughly three in 1,000 U.S. babies born full-term. A report from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics is helping to identify when these injuries occurred.

A virtuosic performance from a master jazz musician is remarkable to see and hear on stage. Stick them in a MRI scanner while they play, and in addition to a great performance, we may be able to learn more about the circuitry of the brain.
