How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It ...

Recent research has found that the thalamus may act like a “relay station” for consciousness by modulating cortical activity in the brain. Researchers found “thalamocortical loops,” where information ...

Redefining Research: This study shows that a human-based brain organoid model can mimic key brain functions such as ...

Scientists have developed a brain-inspired semiconductor that can adjust its responses based on experience, much like human neurons do through “intrinsic plasticity.” ...

Data from a new study links a pair of duplicated genes to human brain features. The research provides a roadmap for scientists to gain a deeper understanding of brain function and evolution, as well ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

There’s no escaping it, but the full extent of its impact on human health isn’t entirely understood. College research project reveals disturbing findings about brain function: 'Major implications' ...
