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 ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

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 ...

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

Consciousness is famously a "hard problem" of science: We don't precisely know how the physical matter in our brains translates into thoughts, sensations, and feelings. But an emerging research tool ...
