Human brain cells are now interacting with computer systems, learning to play video games like Doom. Researchers have ...

Researchers challenge the long-standing "neural independence" theory, showing that learning actually makes neurons more coordinated.

When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

The field of systems neuroscience increasingly seeks to understand how distributed neural populations interact to support complex cognitive functions such ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes, once dismissed as mere support cells, play a central role in fear memory.

The team is led by Leanne Li of The Francis Crick Institute in London, England. Her research combines cancer biology and neuroscience to investigate how cancer communicates with peripheral nerves ...

Researchers identified three distinct brain “biotypes” of ADHD, each with its own chemical signature—offering new clues about why treatment can feel like trial and error.

Unlike most frontier neuroscience projects that rely primarily on state funding, this one has been built through a rare mix ...
