Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, perception, memory, language, and thought have been mapped onto distinct brain ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

The human brain is often described as the most complex organ in the body. It controls everything from breathing and movement to thoughts and emotions. Despite years of research, the brain continues to ...

Scientists have found that the human brain understands spoken language in a surprisingly similar way to advanced AI systems.

How the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing has been discovered. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have made a significant ...

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

A newly identified lymphatic drainage pathway along the middle meningeal artery reveals how the human brain clears waste. How does the brain clear away waste? This task is handled by the brain’s ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Artificial intelligence systems designed to physically emulate natural brains can simulate human brain activity before being trained, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University. “The work ...
