In experiments with healthy volunteers undergoing functional MRI imaging, scientists have found increased activity in two ...

Researchers uncovered how diverse brain cells coordinate to make decisions. Using a computational model, they showed how ...

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

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

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

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 ...

Research that is taking a closer look at activity in the thalamus—a region long considered a relay station for the brain and ...

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

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

Fruit flies, fast skiers and electrical signals between muscles and neurons are helping researchers uncover a possible link ...

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

How do animals bounce back from sleep deprivation? Scientists found a subset of neurons in the mouse thalamus that repay this ...
