Susan Pinker on very recent evidence that the brain’s structure can change when human beings—in this case, dyslexic children—learn a new skill.

To build a representation of the external world, and give it a coherent sense, our brain needs to process and integrate information coming from all our senses, including vision and hearing.

Likewise, knowledge about how the brain experiences architecture could help avoid conceptual missteps, especially with questionable designs that appear seductive at first.

What role do early childhood experiences in nearby nature play in the formation of brain architecture? It’s time for science to ask that question. In January, 2012, New York Times columnist ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved ...

During the first 1,000 days of a child’s life, over 700 neural connections are formed every second, literally shaping the architecture of a young child’s brain.

Andy Slack (from left), Julie Everett and Putnam Ivey play the Brain Architecture Game, which illustrates the impact of life experiences and relationships on brain development, at the Our ...

The Brain on Architecture Looking at buildings designed for purposes of contemplation—like museums, churches, and libraries—may have positive measurable effects on mental state.

Which types of brain activity support conscious experiences? Researchers build artificial time-evolving networks to search for the brain's dynamic structures underpinning consciousness.

If there are themes connecting the best architecture of 2018, one of them is certainly the eagerness of architects to give shape to complex and varied experiences, the more sensory the better.

In our technological age, when so many of our social experiences are virtual, the role architecture can play in the experience of real-time situations is increasingly curious. How does ...
