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

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

MRI signals don’t always match the brain’s true activity levels, overturning a core assumption used in tens of thousands of studies.

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that produces them. That vision is suddenly closer to reality, as glowing neurons ...

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

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

What if we could peer into the brain and watch how it organizes information as we act, perceive, or make decisions? A new ...

Breast cancer can rapidly derail the brain’s day-night regulation of stress hormones, even before tumors are detectable.

A new study fundamentally challenges how fMRI data are interpreted, finding no valid coupling between oxygen content measured ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...
