An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between ...

Researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University and Tufts University have engineered tiny living constructs from frog embryo cells that spontaneously develop functional nervous systems, a ...

This framework was applied to neural recordings from animals receiving one of the three anesthetics—propofol, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine.

Understanding how the brain learns and applies rules is the key to unraveling the neural basis of flexible behavior. A new study from the University of Toyama, Japan, reveals that our ability to ...

Neuroscientists have revealed how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice. The research shows that decision-making is a global process across the brain ...

We investigated how our brains process language during real-life conversations. Specifically, we wanted to understand which brain regions become active when we're speaking and listening, and how these ...

Summary: It’s a common reflex: to hear a faint sound better, we squeeze our eyes shut. However, new research suggests this strategy actually backfires in noisy environments. By monitoring brain ...

Scientists have developed a geometric deep learning method that can create a coherent picture of neuronal population activity during cognitive and motor tasks across experimental subjects and ...

A new study suggest that brief exercise, such as 20 minutes of moderate cycling, can boost brain activity, which may help to improve memory.
