Using a novel approach of precision neuroimaging and high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), neuroscientists and physicists have discovered previously unknown cortical networks ...

“Rather than actively shaping experience, the thalamus (if it is considered at all) has typically been relegated to a role in ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, ...

Investigators have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between 'test tube' data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study could help in the ...

For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied ...

A University of Wyoming faculty member is conducting research that aims to enhance our understanding of human brain functions. Diksha Shukla, an assistant professor of computer science in UW’s ...

Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have uncovered a surprising truth about the speed of human thought: our brains process ideas at a rate of just 10 bits per second. Compared to the ...

A team of Chinese researchers has stuck a tiny organoid made from human stem cells into the body of a tiny robot, resulting in a Frankensteinian creation that can learn how to complete certain tasks.
