The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

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 ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

New research suggests intelligence arises not from a single brain region, but from how networks across the brain work together as an integrated system. Neuroscientists often describe the brain as a ...

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 ...

Researchers at University of Notre Dame reveal evidence for the Network Neuroscience Theory, showing intelligence as ...

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks.

Anthony Leonardo is a neuroscientist at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s research facility who has created an environment to track dragonflies’ neuron transmissions. This research will enable him to ...

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

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

A specialized model used by researchers is becoming a valuable tool for studying human brain development, diseases and potential treatments, according to a team of scientists at Rutgers University-New ...
