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 ...

Neuroscientists have revealed how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice. The research, conducted at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL, shows that ...

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 ...

This brain-wide activity map challenges the traditional hierarchical view of information processing in the brain and shows that decision-making is distributed across many regions in a highly ...

Each circle is a neuron, only those that are significantly active are shown at each point of time and the size of the circle is scaled with the amount of activity of that neuron. See research paper in ...

The walk sign lights up, and you’re ready to step off the curb when you hear the blare of an ambulance siren—or the sound of kids screaming, or even some leaves rustling in the wind. How do you make a ...

Life can be tricky. We have so many decisions to make. It's a good thing we have an orbitofrontal cortex and hippocampus to help us. These areas of the brain work together to help us sort through ...

In the well-known thought experiment known as the prisoner's dilemma, one individual has to decide whether to stay silent or talk to the police about their crime based on how they anticipate an ...

Changing your mind feels like a conscious choice, yet neuroscience shows your brain often initiates that shift before you notice it. A peer-reviewed study titled “Changes-of-mind in the absence of new ...

Decisions run our lives. From the moment we wake up and decide to get out of bed to the moment we turn off the light and decide to sleep, we make decisions. Those who can make hard decisions are ...
