Gene therapy that can cross the blood–brain barrier represents a non-invasive way to map gene expression in the brains of ...

Living human neurons were trained to play Doom, extending the long-running engineering benchmark into biological computing.

The Wiley Foundation honored research into connectomes — detailed atlases of the brain that map out thousands of neurons and the millions of connection between them.

The brain’s wiring forms a unique fingerprint that reveals how we think, remember, and make decisions. A new study offers the ...

The largest fMRI study to date finds that heavy cannabis use in young adults reduces brain activity and impairs working memory performance.

The human brain – all 86 billion neurons of it – is something of an enigma. Despite decades of research, our understanding of how it works remains limited, presenting a major roadblock in the quest to ...

The signals that drive many of the brain and body's most essential functions—consciousness, sleep, breathing, heart rate and motion—course through bundles of "white matter" fibers in the brainstem, ...

ME. AT MASS GENERAL BRIGHAM RESEARCHERS ARE MAPPING ONE OF THE MOST VAST AND MYSTERIOUS LANDSCAPES KNOWN TO SCIENCE A WORLD OF TRILLIONS OF CONNECTIONS. THE HUMAN BRAIN. WE HAVE MAPPED OUR ENTIRE ...

Modern neuroscience has revealed a brain made up of specialized networks, yet this fragmented view leaves open a central question: why human thought feels unified. A new neuroimaging study explores ...

To test this claim, the cognitive neuroscientists analyzed brain imaging and cognitive data from one of the largest studies conducted to date, examining 831 adults in the Human Connectome Project, ...

Aron Barbey, the Andrew J. McKenna Family Professor of Psychology in Notre Dame’s Department of Psychology, is also the director of the Notre Dame Human Neuroimaging Center and the Decision ...

In 2024, researchers completed the first-ever map of the circuitry of a fruit fly’s brain. Despite its diminutive size, the organ packs almost 500 feet of wiring and 54.5 million synapses into the ...
