Scientists have uncovered surprising complexity in a tiny sensory structure found in comb jellies, some of the oldest animals on Earth.

A study combining brain imaging, computational modeling and AI found that hippocampal–prefrontal circuits organize emotions into a map-like structure based on pleasantness and arousal. The hippocampus ...

A Silicon Valley startup claims to have achieved a scientific milestone that could reshape the future of neuroscience and artificial intelligence: the first successful “virtual brain upload.” The ...

The Pershing Square Foundation today announced the eight winners of the "MIND" Prize (Maximizing Innovation in Neuroscience Discovery). Through the Prize, the Foundation strives to change the paradigm ...

Summary: We’ve long known that the brain uses “GPS-like” circuits to navigate physical space, but a new study suggests it does the same for our feelings. Researchers discovered that the hippocampus ...

A new study reveals the brain circuit behind parental care also controls helping behavior, offering clues about the roots of compassion.

A growing body of research is converging on specific brain regions and networks that appear to generate conscious experience, from dreaming to waking awareness. Multiple independent lines of evidence ...

Recent advances in neural circuit mapping—including viral tracing, high-resolution imaging, single-cell transcriptomics, and in vivo recordings—have greatly ...

Advanced 3D reconstructions of the comb jelly’s aboral organ reveal a sensory system far more complex than scientists expected. The organ contains a wide variety of specialized cells and is closely ...
