How do brain regions communicate? Researchers introduce a new optogenetic method to target long-distance circuits in ...

Understanding how the brain works requires more than studying single regions in isolation. The cerebral cortex depends on ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate the organization and functioning of networks of neurons in the brain.

The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...

A team of researchers from Spain was curious to know if people with high psychopathic traits have anomalies in the brain's physical structures, which make them incapable of feeling regret or capable ...

Your brain may possess greater abilities than you realise. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted a study which discovered that adult brains contain millions of silent synapses ...

New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal ...

When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

A new paper published in Cell Reports, in which researchers work with primates, sheds some light on the question. Researchers ...
