Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, perception, memory, language, and thought have been mapped onto distinct brain ...

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 ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

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

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain, integrates memory and processing to drastically reduce power consumption compared to traditional CPUs and GPUs, making AI at the network edge more ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...

The cerebellum, often called the little brain, plays a much bigger role in language processing than once believed. Located at ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Anthony Leonardo is a neuroscientist at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s research facility who has created an environment to track dragonflies’ neuron transmissions. This research will enable him to ...

In a July 2018 MIT News article, “ Charting the Cerebellum, ” first author Xavier Guell of MIT's McGovern Institute of Brain Research, describes his team’s state-of-the-art mapping of motor and ...
