New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...
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 have investigated brain development to understand how different areas of the brain become specialized in handling information such as vision, sound, touch and planning. In a new study ...
A surprising new brain study suggests that remembering life events and recalling facts may rely on the same neural machinery.
A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. A study now identifies, ...
Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...
