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 ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost memory Nora Bradford, Quanta Magazine Some solutions are reached incrementally ...

The image shows how the cerebellum (white) send its projections across the brain of a newborn mouse. A wide network of color-coded axons reveals how this tiny structure connects with multiple brain ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development. Their work helps ...

Treating brain diseases is extraordinarily challenging, because drugs often work poorly and implants require risky surgery that can jeopardize critical brain functions. A group at MIT has sought a ...
