The human brain is remarkable for its ability to synthesize sensory inputs into a coherent perception of the external world.

Although the human brain is capable of sifting through a billion bits of information per second, scientists recently found that the top speed of human thought only comes in at roughly 10 bits per ...

In anterior regions, such as the frontal cortex, space and time are processed independently, with distinct neural populations ...

which encompass sensations that are captured through a body-wide receiver network that goes far beyond the brain itself Interestingly, biocomputing organoids—tiny clusters of human neurons deriv ...

Certain portions of the brain seemed to reactivate, with neurons displaying signs of activity and basic cellular functions ...

A new study has identified a group of neurons that, when activated, can induce a hypometabolic state, akin to hibernation. The discovery could have far-reaching implications for conditions like ...

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent — and a new study suggests that the maternal X is ...

Researchers spent years working with two patients who had suffered spinal cord injuries that left them unable to control ...

Neuroscientists have set up computer frameworks that can help model individual brain dynamics.
