A team of neurologists, bioengineers and radiologists has found that two neurons in the human brain that code for dopamine production have to work harder than similar cells in primate relatives. The ...

Using an ultra-high-resolution imaging technology called 7 Tesla functional MRI (fMRI) on human participants, researchers have mapped how different parts of the brain work together. Specifically, they ...

How do the circuits of the human brain work—and what happens when they are disrupted? To investigate these questions, researchers at the Eye Clinic of the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

It's one of nature's greatest ironies: the human brain lacks the ability to grasp its own complexity. Indeed, the brain is complicated. The three-pound organ housed in our heads consists of roughly 86 ...

A recent study published in Physical Review Letters reveals that many widely used signatures of criticality in brain data may be statistical artifacts. They propose a more robust framework that, when ...

Recently, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang, whose company builds the chips powering today’s most advanced artificial intelligence systems, remarked: “The thing that’s really, really quite amazing is the ...

Since the days of Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Wilhelm His, the vast complexity of cell types in the human brain has been regarded as one of the greatest mysteries, poetically described by Cajal as a ...

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s difficult to ...
