New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

The ability to analyze the brain's neural connectivity is emerging as a key foundation for brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, such as controlling artificial limbs and enhancing human ...

Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

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

Researchers at University of Tsukuba and their collaborators have demonstrated that learning from both rewarding and aversive ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...
