Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

A study on mice identified a group of neurons in the central amygdala region of the brain that display a unique pattern of ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

You check into a hotel and toss and turn all night, but your sleep improves the following night. Scientists at Nagoya University wanted to understand why this happens. Working with mice, they have ...

Scientists discovered why some neurons resist tau toxicity, identifying CRL5SOCS4 as a crucial defense and linking ...

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal injury research.

Unlike today’s algorithms that guess songs based on previous enjoyment, this brain-reading approach knows what’s working now.

When the brain rests, it usually replays recent experiences to strengthen memory. Scientists found that in Alzheimer’s-like ...

The Arctic ground squirrel survives conditions that would cause irreparable brain damage in almost any other mammal on the ...
