New research shows that the human brain employs precise, mathematical logic to decision-making, revealing new insight into the brain science that guides learning.

A volcanologist and biomedical engineer at Columbia University have joined forces to understand how particle-level interactions influence a volcano’s personality.

The brain’s remarkable ability to perceive the outside world relies almost entirely on its capacity to tune out noise generated by the body’s own actions, says a new study.

New research in mice has revealed that the brain’s underlying desire for sweet, and its distaste for bitter, can be erased by manipulating neurons in the amygdala, the emotion center of the brain.

What’s it like to decode the inner workings of the human brain? Elizabeth Hillman and Elisa Konofagou, both professors of biomedical engineering and radiology, recently discussed their cutting-edge efforts to understand and heal the brain.
