To map the mammalian brain and its various functions with increasing precision, neuroscientists rely on high-resolution imaging techniques and other advanced experimental tools. These include ...

Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Researchers Matthew Golub, Belle Liu, and Jacob Sacks at the Paul G. Allen School for Computer Science & Engineering, have ...

A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

McGill University researchers found training your brain in a specific, targeted, computerized way can produce important ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
