A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The new ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Ever wake at night needing a drink of water and then find your way to the kitchen in the dark without stubbing your toe? Researchers at the University of California, San Diego say they have identified ...

MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

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

When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers ...

Prescription stimulants are among the most widely used psychiatric medications in the world. For decades, the prevailing ...

Mental illness is often described in abstract terms, but is rooted in the brain. A study reveals that genes influencing ...
