Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, perception, memory, language and thought have been mapped onto distinct brain ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred microbes from different primates into mice, the animals’ brains began to ...

In a unique merger of neurology and artificial intelligence, Stanford University has launched a ...

The human mind is turning out to be far stranger and more intricate than the tidy diagrams in old biology textbooks ever suggested. A wave of new research is revealing hidden layers in the brain’s ...

There have been recent high-profile cases about drug overdose and mental disorders including postpartum psychosis that makes it necessary to seek out what the human mind is, and what exactly thoughts ...

Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn and the University of Bonn are reconstructing neural networks in the laboratory and investigating new mechanisms of signal transmission in the brain ...

Predicting cognitive processes from brain activation maps remains a key challenge in neuroscience. Meta-analytic functional decoding provides an estimation of behavioral profiles associated with ...

Professor Tim Vogels from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) will receive $3 million as part of an ambitious new $80 million international research initiative exploring how energy ...

The researchers integrated measures of both brain structure and function to enable a more precise characterization of the human brain. Rather than identifying intelligence with a particular cognitive ...
