'Rubber paw illusion': Mice can 'sense' artificial limbs, just as humans do
Scientists have introduced a new laboratory model that could help them study how artificial limbs can be better designed.
Electronic face 'tattoos' could measure your mental strain at work
A disposable, electronic "tattoo" that measures mental workload could be used to enhance safety in high-pressure jobs, researchers say.
How are you able to read words without vowels?
The human brain can make sense of sentences — even when the vowels are missing.
Can adults grow new brain cells?
Scientists are still debating whether the human brain is capable of growing new cells past childhood.

Researchers drew inspiration from the auditory system to design a solution for the "cocktail party problem."
Scientists hijacked the human eye to get it to see a brand-new color. It's called 'olo.'
Using an experimental technique called "Oz," researchers stimulated the human retina such that people saw a brand-new color.
Largest-ever brain 'connectome' built by having a mouse watch 'The Matrix' and 'Star Wars'
Using advanced microscopes that capture brain cell anatomy and activity, a portion of a mouse's brain was mapped and rendered into a 3D atlas that creates new possibilities for neuroscience.
Estrogen may spur the body to make opioids after injury
The female sex hormone estrogen, along with progesterone, appears to underlie a fundamental difference in how males and females process pain, a mouse study finds.
The brain may 'move' between related ideas in the same way it navigates from one location to another
Using a mathematical model, scientists explored how the human brain might represent information about physical spaces and about people, places and things. Turns out, it may process both in a similar way.
