Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

A newly identified lymphatic drainage pathway along the middle meningeal artery reveals how the human brain clears waste. How does the brain clear away waste? This task is handled by the brain’s ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

How the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing has been discovered. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have made a significant ...

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion ...

Artificial intelligence systems designed to physically emulate natural brains can simulate human brain activity before being trained, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University. “The work ...

The world has changed since 1664, when French philosopher and scientist Rene Descartes first claimed the brain was responsible for the sensation of pain. However, a key question remains: How exactly ...

A study offers a glimpse of how the brain turns experience into emotion. In mice and humans, puffs of air to the eye caused persistent changes in brain activity, suggesting an emotional response. Get ...

BALTIMORE — Artificial intelligence systems designed to physically imitate natural brains can simulate human brain activity before being trained, according to new research from Johns Hopkins ...
