For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and various other online platforms, has grown exponentially over the past few years. Current ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

Methamphetamine addiction has a way of looping back on itself. A rush of pleasure pulls you in, cravings follow, and the ...

A new study in mice suggests that memory problems in Alzheimer’s disease may stem from a breakdown in how the brain replays recent experiences during periods of rest. The research was carried out by s ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

Developmental electrophysiological adaptations and heat-sensitive proteins, such as TRPV3, in cortical excitatory neurons help maintain stable activity levels when brain temperature rises by 2–3°C ...

Picture a mammal that can deliberately shut down most of its brain functions for most of the year, then wake up in the spring with its memories and in.

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

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

The Arctic ground squirrel survives conditions that would cause irreparable brain damage in almost any other mammal on the ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...
