A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is critical to identifying task structure and to generalizing appropriately across task states with similar underlying or hidden causes. This capability is at the heart ...

A mother of two young children has died after living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). She announced her own death in ...

It’s not a bad idea, in theory. Giving AI a face is not just a marketing ploy. It’s a biological inevitability.

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.
