Princeton scientists found that the brain uses reusable “cognitive blocks” to create new behaviors quickly.

Brain organoids can be a good step forward, assuming they are grown from induced human pluripotent stem cells. That allows us to sidestep ethical concerns about the use of human embryos, thereby ...

For the first time, a team of researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National ...

Every clonal raider ant lives a nearly identical life. Each new generation of these blind, queenless ants is born at the same ...

We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

An international collaboration led by Cornell researchers used a combination of psilocybin and the rabies virus to map ...

Memory failures often feel like personal lapses, but new research suggests the problem may be rooted in hidden architecture ...
