Understanding how the human brain stores information and later uses it to complete various tasks has been a long-standing goal of neuroscience and psychology research. Past studies have identified ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

When I began my master’s program in cognitive science, an electrical engineering professor told us—rather arrogantly—that the soul is nothing but neurons firing. “You’re deluded if you think otherwise ...

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 ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sents between neurons -- specialized cells ...

A new study suggests that the long-term antidepressant effects of psychedelics may be driven by persistent changes in how ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...
