Brain scans of thousands of people revealed that the human brain has five distinct eras, with turning points in the way it is organized occurring at age nine, 32, 66 and 83. Across each of these ...

For centuries, humans have marveled at the strange theater of their nightly visions. We wake with fragments of impossible ...

The human brain is not a passive recorder of events, it is an active simulator that constantly rehearses futures, rewrites ...

Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Emotions are constructed, not discovered. Relational safety—not precise labels—allows the brain to tolerate uncertainty, ...

Researchers studying the human brain shared a lot of fascinating research this year, like how to keep brains young and how to ...

Scientists have made an enormous step toward understanding the human brain by building a neuron-by-neuron and synapse-by-synapse roadmap -- scientifically speaking, a 'connectome' -- through the brain ...

A new, high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) can be rapidly implanted through a minimally invasive procedure. The ...

Why don’t we always prioritize what matters most—like making time for family and friends or fitting in a workout during a busy day? Emily Falk believes that understanding how our brain works can help ...
