The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...
Perhaps our most defining characteristic as a species, the six-layered human cortex, hosts billions of neural connections that bestow Homo sapiens with higher-order thinking. But how does this ...
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 ...
Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...
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 ...
Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...
For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain's cortex control different body movements. This fundamental discovery dates to the 1930s, when neurosurgeons used ...
Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...
