The researchers integrated measures of both brain structure and function to enable a more precise characterization of the human brain. Rather than identifying intelligence with a particular cognitive ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

The development of the human brain is one of the most complex biological processes. During the first years of life, enormous ...

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 ...

Neuroimaging and animal research reveal how pregnancy hormones remodel neural circuits and leave a long-lasting mark on women ...

The human mind is turning out to be far stranger and more intricate than the tidy diagrams in old biology textbooks ever suggested. A wave of new research is revealing hidden layers in the brain’s ...

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 ...

This happened to me a few days ago. I am talking to a Gen Z (born between 1997 and 2012) on the phone about a trip we were planning. She seemed fragmented, texting her parents while speaking with me, ...

According to researcher Onur Pusuluk, even the tiniest and most fleeting microscopic processes could leave lasting marks on neuronal systems.
