A new advanced imaging study led by scientists from the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London (ICL), has looked at what happens in people's brains when they take the potent ...

The researchers integrated measures of both brain structure and function to enable a more precise characterization of the human brain. Rather than identifying intelligence with a particular cognitive ...

Anthony Leonardo is a neuroscientist at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s research facility who has created an environment to track dragonflies’ neuron transmissions. This research will enable him to ...

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

A new study is the first to show that two of our most sophisticated cognitive functions, using and understanding language and being able to sense how other people feel, have distinct origins in the ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

The neurologist Marcus Raichle has remarked that studies of brain function have traditionally focused on task-evoked responses (Raichle 2010, 2015). As Daniel Kahneman has explained, such research has ...

You can see it coming in right there, that little spot,” says neuroscientist and engineer Laura Lewis. A remarkably bright pulsing dot has appeared on the monitor in front of us. We are watching, in ...
