How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

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

A new University of Rochester study could reshape how scientists think about perception, learning disorders, and artificial ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend recommended or read the latest world news, your brain stores many of these ...

A thin, wireless brain implant with 65,000+ sensors maps vision, touch, and movement from the brain’s surface, promising gentler, high‑resolution neural interfaces.

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?

The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...

The researchers also suggest, based on previous studies, that people with acute and chronic alcohol problems might see ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group ...
