A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

A new study shows that the human brain stores what we remember and the context in which it happens using different neurons.

Humans have the remarkable ability to remember the same person or object in completely different situations. We can easily ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

Anxiety is often described as a whole‑brain problem, but a series of mouse experiments suggests that, in some cases, a single ...

Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...

For more than a century, brain imaging has been a story of trade-offs: sharp pictures but slow timing, or fast signals with ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it ...
