A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

An international team led by the University of Michigan has introduced new methods that reveal which regions of the brain were active throughout the day with single-cell resolution. Using mouse models ...

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

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

To map the mammalian brain and its various functions with increasing precision, neuroscientists rely on high-resolution imaging techniques and other advanced experimental tools. These include ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — ...

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

John Famechon, the former World Featherweight Champion, commenced his intricate brain-based multi-movement therapy in December 1993 after suffering a debilitating brain injury in August 1991. Some ...
