For decades, scientists have worked to peer deeper into the brain. They have wanted to see not just surface activity in the cortex but also the hidden layers beneath, such as the hippocampus, where ...

The human brain is formed by a complex network of neural connections and most of them link neighboring brain regions, which are also the most studied to date. But a recent neuroscientific study by ...

Restoring lost senses or delivering precise brain signals has required invasive hardware and can’t mimic the brain’s natural, distributed activity patterns. This platform shows the brain can learn to ...

A new study by researchers at Simon Fraser University is shedding light on how the brain's wiring in early childhood lays the foundation for attention skills- a key step toward characterizing healthy ...

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

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to misbehave—plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps ...
