Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

Using matched tasks and fMRI, researchers found no difference in brain activity during successful episodic and semantic retrieval. The results show overlapping neural systems support both memory types ...

New research suggests intelligence arises not from a single brain region, but from how networks across the brain work together as an integrated system. Neuroscientists often describe the brain as a ...

Scientists from Boston University, Queensland University of Technology, and the University of Toronto are advancing a shared idea about how the mind works. They argue that the same brain systems used ...

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), and Duke University ...

A measure of brain complexity, derived from magnetic stimulation and EEG, can effectively evaluate conscious processing in ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

You can use up all the storage on your phone or max out your computer's drive, but can you use up all the memory space in your brain? Despite how you might feel before an exam or after a sleepless ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...
