A team of UChicago psychology researchers used fMRI scans to learn why certain moments carry such lasting power ...
A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.
Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information.
Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...
Neuroscientists are closing in on a striking idea: some brain cells appear to be tuned specifically to music, firing in ...
Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The new ...
New work in mice is revealing how losing insulation on just a few nerve fibers can throw off the timing of brain signals and ...
Third are sensory reconstruction interfaces, such as restoring hearing or vision. For patients who have lost sensory input, ...
Zooming in on the auditory cortex, the researchers found three unique sets of neurons that light up while we listen to music. Two sets of neurons encode absolute pitch (individual musical notes) and ...
New data highlight liver-encoded delivery of immune modulators as a strategy to mitigate age-related immune dysfunction.
Background Fermented foods are a promising yet underexplored intervention for influencing brain function and mental health through the gut–brain axis. Objective The objective of this study was to ...
