Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

New research suggests that the way brain networks reorganize moment-to-moment predicts autism severity. Children who spent ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

Attention disorders such as ADHD arise when the brain struggles to separate important signals from irrelevant noise. At any ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

For decades, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been diagnosed from the outside in, through behavior, mood, and memory ...

Using lab-grown brain tissue, researchers uncovered complex patterns of neural signaling that differ subtly between healthy ...

MRI signals don’t always match the brain’s true activity levels, overturning a core assumption used in tens of thousands of studies.

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

The idea of “reading minds” has shifted from science fiction to a concrete engineering challenge, and the latest breakthroughs suggest the brain’s private code is finally yielding. Researchers are not ...
