This book explores intimacy, longing, and consequence, as we bare our souls to the trials of a life lived to the ...

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

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

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

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

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

A new study has identified the brain connectivity patterns that lead to cognitive difficulties in patients with schizophrenia, suggesting potential targets for therapeutic intervention in early ...

Neuroscientists and philosophers have debated this thought experiment for decades as they have tried to understand how the ...

Consciousness researchers studying “islands of awareness” have found that disconnected brains likely sink into a strange form ...

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 ...
