Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

Specific rhythms of flickering light can synchronise brain activity, offering clues about perception and possible future ...

Modern neuroscience often describes the brain as a collection of specialized systems. Functions such as attention, perception, memory, language, and ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

Artificial intelligence and neuroscience are getting closer to making human thoughts speak and show themselves in images. This gives new hope to people suffering from paralysis or speech ...

When a society replaces a word that acknowledges escape and repression with one that describes birthplace, it is not simply ...
