The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

New research suggests intelligence arises not from a single brain region, but from how networks across the brain work together as an integrated system. Neuroscientists often describe the brain as a ...

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks.

Anthony Leonardo is a neuroscientist at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s research facility who has created an environment to track dragonflies’ neuron transmissions. This research will enable him to ...

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Researchers at University of Notre Dame reveal evidence for the Network Neuroscience Theory, showing intelligence as ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...
