A key to understanding the brain lies in unpacking how hundreds of interconnected brain areas process information that leads to various outputs. In order to try to understand this, researchers ...

The first complete activity map of the brain has been unveiled by a large international collaboration of neuroscientists. The International Brain Laboratory (IBL) researchers published their findings ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...

Cultured neural tissues have been widely used as a simplified experimental model for brain research. However, existing ...

EPFL researchers have developed a powerful method to generate brain-wide, biologically realistic wiring maps of the mouse brain. Their approach bridges experimental data with mathematical and ...

In the mid-20th Century, we had the Space Race kick off, and in the mid-2020s, we're very much in the middle of the AI race. Nobody is sitting still, with parties all around the globe pushing for the ...

Jocelyn Solis-Moreira is a freelance health and science journalist based in New York. There’s nothing like shutting the bathroom door, maybe even locking it and hiding away from one’s family, even ...

Learn how AI tools like Obsidian and the PARA method can help you create a second brain for seamless knowledge management and ...

Scientists have discovered specialized IC-encoder neurons that make the brain “see” illusions, such as squares or triangles that aren’t truly there.

Humans explore unfamiliar options more when deciding how to avoid losses than when seeking gains. The firing rate of neuronal cells in the brain’s amygdala predicts decisions to explore in both ...

We’re constantly making decisions. If I get the pumpkin spice latte, would it make me happier than my usual black coffee? If I go the scenic route on a trip, would it be worth the extra time? Past and ...
