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

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 ...

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 ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

That the human mind treads a delicate line between order and disorder is a radical idea that’s gaining traction - and is ...

Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a new algorithm, the Krakencoder, that merges multiple types of brain imaging data to better understand how the brain s wiring underpins behavior, ...

There’s no escaping it, but the full extent of its impact on human health isn’t entirely understood. College research project reveals disturbing findings about brain function: 'Major implications' ...

Current AI technology has hit a wall that prevents it from reaching artificial general intelligence. The next design leap involves adding a type of complexity that attempts to mimic the way the human ...

Humans, who are classified among the five great apes, are closest genetically, i.e., DNA similarity, to chimpanzees (98.8%-99%) and bonobos (98.8%). [Blueringmedia ...
