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

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

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 ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...

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

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

Talking to yourself feels deeply human. Inner speech helps you plan, reflect, and solve problems without saying a word. New research suggests that this habit may also help machines learn more like you ...

UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors in a setting that closely mirrors the human brain, shedding light on how ...

A newly identified lymphatic drainage pathway along the middle meningeal artery reveals how the human brain clears waste. How does the brain clear away waste? This task is handled by the brain’s ...

Researchers discovered a feedback loop between nerve cells, the immune system and the heart. They think it shows promise as a ...

A heart attack activates stress circuits in the brain that evolved for survival but can amplify inflammation, disrupt healing ...
