The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

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