At first glance, the human brain might appear to be a marvel of engineering—a seamless interface for sensory input, cognitive control, and motor output. But if you peer beneath its sophisticated ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, ...

Facial expression control starts in a very old part of the nervous system. In the brain stem sits the facial nucleus, which ...

Scientists uncover how brain shrinkage across multiple regions accelerates memory decline in healthy ageing adults.

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" ...

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal transmission between brain cells functions very reliably even at low ...

Spending time in the weightless environment of microgravity can have some dramatic effects on the human body, but scientists ...
