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 ...

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

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

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

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

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 ...

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