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 ...

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

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

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

A standard glass of wine or beer does more than just relax the body; it fundamentally alters the landscape of communication within the brain. New research suggests that acute alcohol consumption ...

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept in medicine. It reads scans, predicts risk, flags patterns, and ...
