For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

Brain scans show a spot in the cerebellum attuned specifically to words, expanding on studies that point to the region's ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

The cerebellum, often called the little brain, plays a much bigger role in language processing than once believed. Located at ...

An international team led by the University of Michigan has introduced new methods that reveal which regions of the brain were active throughout the day with single-cell resolution. Using mouse models ...

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

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 ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...
