Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

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

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 ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

Intrinsic neural attractors and extrinsic environmental inputs jointly steer the dynamic trajectories of brain activity ...

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 ...

Researchers found that a good night’s sleep may help the brain clear proteins tied to Alzheimer’s. For years, sleep has been framed as a basic pillar of good health. New research suggests it could be ...

Fear has a scent. Here’s how this invisible chemical signal has shaped human perceptions, emotions and survival instincts.

Talking to yourself feels deeply human. Inner speech helps you plan, reflect, and solve problems without saying a word.

Neuro-adaptive systems could sense hesitation, emerging quality decisions or degraded mental inputs that may lead to a negative outcome.
