Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

New research suggests intelligence arises not from a single brain region, but from how networks across the brain work together as an integrated system. Neuroscientists often describe the brain as a ...

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

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

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

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

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 ...

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

To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...
