How do you intuitively know that you can walk on a footpath and swim in a lake? Researchers from the University of Amsterdam have discovered unique brain activations that reflect how we can move our ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

A new study provides the best evidence to date that the connection patterns between various parts of the human brain can tell scientists the specialized functions of each region.

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

Current AI technology has hit a wall that prevents it from reaching artificial general intelligence. The next design leap involves adding a type of complexity that attempts to mimic the way the human ...

USC scientists design brain-like neurons that learn in hardware, not software, paving the way for energy-efficient AI general ...

There is much work to be done, but Hengen would eventually like to understand how criticality helps explain complex features of human neurobiology. "We may find that someone who is an amazing artist, ...

Scientists at the University of Amsterdam discovered that our brains automatically understand how we can move through different environments—whether it's swimming in a lake or walking a path—without ...

Though it's now clear humans continue to grow new brain cells throughout their entire lives, debate persists over whether this applies to specific areas involved with memory. Previous studies have ...

New research reveals that the human brain contains a built-in pain map that activates in different regions when relieving ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas ...

You’ve probably heard of dopamine, oxytocin, and cortisol. Maybe you know dopamine has something to do with feeling good, oxytocin is linked to bonding, and cortisol is that stress chemical you’d ...
