Instead of relying on a single neuron, the brain uses the pattern of activity across many neurons to encode information to ...

Researchers have now shown that, despite individual differences in neuron activity, a shared underlying structure guides the ...

Sleeping deeply into the afternoon after an all-nighter or a late night out is one way the body repays its sleep debt. The ...

Every decision begins invisibly. Long before someone acts, the brain is already hard at work gathering evidence, weighing ...

New research reveals how the brain precisely recognizes objects. It uses complex, non-linear interactions between brain cells ...

New research shows that the brain’s cortex can rapidly reorganize itself after losing neurons, allowing other nerve cells to take over lost functions.

New tech accurately decodes slow, blurry brain cell signals into precise firing times. Unlike prior methods, this detailed ...

Researchers have discovered that apical and basal dendrites of the same neuron use different strategies to learn, suggesting ...

The flexible implant measures brain activity during embryonic development in amphibians — plus, a new way to restore damaged paintings with the help of AI. This YouTube video cannot be played due to ...

A microscopic parasite quietly infects the brains of millions worldwide. Known scientifically as Toxoplasma gondii, this tiny ...

Our brains may work best when teetering on the edge of chaos. A new theory suggests that criticality a sweet spot between order and randomness is the secret to learning, memory, and adaptability. When ...

MIT researchers propose a groundbreaking theory highlighting astrocytes' crucial role in memory storage, challenging the traditional neuron-centric vi ...
