Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

New research suggests that sound at a specific frequency could help the brain "clean up" deposits associated with Alzheimer's ...

A new study has identified the brain connectivity patterns that lead to cognitive difficulties in patients with schizophrenia, suggesting potential targets for therapeutic intervention in early ...

Creativity is more than just a spark. New brain scan studies reveal the complicated interplay between multiple brain systems.

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

This study uses all-optical electrophysiology methods to provide a valuable insight into the organization of cortical networks and their ability to balance the activity of groups of neurons with ...

Introduction: Recent epidemiological studies suggest that atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia in elderly population, which may be attributable to reduced ...

Understanding how vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) modulates cortical information processing is essential to developing sustainable, adaptive artificial intelligence inspired by biological systems. This ...

Some of the most complex cognitive functions are possible because different sides of your brain control them. Chief among them is speech perception, the ability to interpret language. In people, the ...

Dizziness, often precipitating imbalance and falls, remains a prevalent and consequential health issue worldwide. Its implications are particularly profound among aging populations, such as the ...

The cerebral cortex plays a key role in predicting the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memories. A new study shows that networks of neurons, rather than single neurons, are ...
