Recent insights into brain functioning challenge the long-standing belief that brain wiring is the primary determinant of intelligence and behavior. It appears that it’s not just about how the brain ...

The human brain processes information through adaptive mechanisms such as "synaptic plasticity" and "intrinsic plasticity." In this process, synaptic ...

A tiny brain blip during silent speech revealed the shocking truth: Your brain plans words by imagining sounds, not movements ...

Redefining Research: This study shows that a human-based brain organoid model can mimic key brain functions such as ...

Scientists from the Nencki Institute and the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have revealed a key mechanism in ...

How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It ...

Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

Scientists characterized the largest sample of a neural circuit to date to improve artificial intelligence models and better ...

Abstract: Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) face several challenges that hinder their long-term performance and adaptability, such as severe overfitting of machine learning models due to limited ...

UCLA scientists, medical professors and graduate students are accustomed to presenting their research — into cancer, stroke, brain injury, nerve regeneration — at conferences of their peers with the ...

Why do humans seem uniquely prone to autism? A new study suggests the answer lies deep in the wiring of our brains, and in the peculiar bargains evolution struck to make us human. Researchers from ...

Summary: A new study suggests that autism may be linked to the rapid evolution of brain cell types unique to humans. Researchers found that outer-layer neurons in the human brain evolved far more ...
