A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...

We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

A new study shows that balanced neural inhibition in the hippocampus is crucial for recognition memory, the ability to remember objects we’ve recently encountered.

A new MIT study illustrates how areas within the brain’s executive control center tailor their messages in specific circuits with other brain regions to influence them with information about behavior ...

Ever wake at night needing a drink of water and then find your way to the kitchen in the dark without stubbing your toe? Researchers at the University of California, San Diego say they have identified ...

A closed-loop cortical implant generates functional percepts of shape, motion, and letters in two individuals with acquired ...

Sleep deprivation effects harm brain health, impairing memory, attention, and emotion. Chronic loss risks neurodegeneration ...

Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly ...

Myelin loss disrupts the coordination of signals between brain regions, impairing the accurate processing of information, ...
