Consciousness has long been treated as philosophy’s most stubborn mystery, yet a growing body of neuroscience is now tying ...

Is language core to thought, or a separate process? For 15 years, the neuroscientist Ev Fedorenko has gathered evidence of a ...

New research using human brain organoids shows that early neural activity follows structured, time-based patterns long before sensory experience begins.

New research suggests the human brain has five distinct ages, and it may not reach adulthood until a person's early 30s.

Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts. Are we born with a pre-configured brain, or do thought ...

Using a speck of mouse brain matter the size of a grain of sand, scientists have created the first precise, three-dimensional map of a mammal’s brain. The map details the form, function and activity ...

Meta is testing artificial intelligence systems that can turn patterns of brain activity into text, effectively letting ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form ...

Have you ever wondered how fast our brains work? Well, scientists have recently quantified the brain’s speed limit. They revealed that from sensory organs, the brain processes signals at only about 10 ...

Long-term memory emerges from a sequence of molecular programs that sort, stabilize, and reinforce important experiences.

Our brain continuously spins out thoughts, whether we want it to or not. When unwanted thoughts keep occurring, despite our efforts to control them, they feed a cycle of rumination that’s at the heart ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...
