The many security prompts seen on your home computer have likely become little more than speed bumps to be quickly dismissed as you go about your day. Despite some scary sounding language, repeated exposure can cause the brain to essentially stop caring, and a new study is imaging that process.

Scientists at Imperial College London are trying to complete a brain imaging study to demystify the effects of the psychedelic drug LSD, and they are turning to crowdfunding to support the project.

An artist has harnessed information provided by MRI to illustrate how love affects our brains—namely by activating oxytocin and dopamine-producing regions, according to an article published online this month by Fast Company.

One in five school-aged children struggles with dyslexia, but early identification and interventions can help them learn successfully. To that end, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, are using structural MRI to track the brain development of children as they learn to read.

Would you like to be able to record your thoughts and memories to playback later? This sci-fi concept is not yet a reality, but a Connecticut-based startup is hoping the first step toward this goal can be achieved using MRI.

When lunchtime hits, are you more tempted by fried foods than a fresh salad? Researchers at Tufts University have shown it may be possible to train your brain to think healthy foods taste better than unhealthy ones.

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.
