Artificial intelligence systems that are designed with a biologically inspired architecture can simulate human brain activity before ever being trained on any data, according to new research from ...

Artificial intelligence may write award-winning essays and diagnose disease with remarkable accuracy, but biological brains still hold the upper hand in at least one crucial domain: flexibility.

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 ...

Place cells are neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, that help the brain keep track of the body’s location in space. Arrays of these cells form a cognitive map, firing off electrical ...

The first complete activity map of a mammalian brain has revealed unprecedented insights into how decisions are made – and may even hint at the roots of that mysterious feeling we call intuition. For ...

In A Nutshell Researchers used a light-based brain imaging technique in mice to watch, in real time, what happens in the brain during a psychedelic experience and found a specific electrical rhythm ...
