Researchers created the most detailed map of the brain's functional networks using data from people watching movies, including "Inception," "Home Alone" and "Erin Brokovich." When you purchase through ...

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

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Our brains have to do a lot of work when we watch a movie. There ...

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Now why would someone throw paint all over a perfectly good human brain? The good news is that this isn’t a paint splattered brain, but the colors are meaningful. This is a functional magnetic ...

Exposure to high ambient temperatures is associated with lower connectivity in three brain networks in preadolescents, suggesting that heat may impact brain function. Exposure to high ambient ...

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 ...
