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

Researchers have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes as the ever-changing neuronal ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

A team of researchers from the University of Rochester, Yale University, and Princeton University has made a big stride in neuroscience. They have shown a method to induce learning through the direct ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown cluster of brain cells that may help explain differences in social behavior ...

In the parable of the blind men and the elephant, several blind men each describe a different part of an elephant they are touching – a sharp tusk, a flexible trunk, or a broad leg – and disagree ...

Researchers report that they have successfully tested a novel approach for teaching the human brain to learn through external manipulation and neural feedback -- what they call the 'sculpting' of ...
