Neural circuits in the brain are highly sophisticated biological systems, orchestrating ultra-fast, parallel computations ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

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 ...

Figure 1. Diagram showing an electrically active cell in a neuronal culture and the process of recording its transmembrane potential for further analysis Neurons are cells that enable the brain to ...

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

Discover how groundbreaking insights into thalamic connectivity are reshaping treatment approaches for essential tremor, paving the way for personalized and more effective DBS therapies. Study: ...

New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially signaling a breakdown in the neural networks that support conscious awareness. By ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba and their collaborators have demonstrated that learning from both rewarding and aversive ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...
