These reductionist systems can also only go so far—for example, cells in a dish do not form complex and specific neural circuits in the brain, and we obviously cannot test cognition or behavior.

“We set out to investigate how the brain at risk for developing depression thinks about one’s prior choices and how neural circuits that process such computations could contribute to disease ...

Dopamine is vital for scores of brain and body functions. Among its key roles as a modulator of neurotransmission is to orchestrate the activity of other neural circuits.

A military veteran, RJ, is the first patient to get Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain chip at at UM’s medical school in Miami, part of South Florida.

Researchers develop two-layer neural model that matches complex visual processing in the brain by Howard Hughes Medical Institute ...

The mood-boosting effects of viewing art are well-known, but new brain scan research on Beholder’s Share — as well as a more rigorous review of existing data showing the mental health benefits ...

Already, experimental brain-computer interfaces have been implanted in dozens of people. The latest devices go under the skin and can communicate wirelessly with a smartphone or tablet.

Our brain’s built-in GPS is controlled by the hippocampus. Nestled deep in the brain, the hippocampus has specialized place cells that fire when you are in specific places.

MIT study reveals long-term ChatGPT use may impair brain function, showing decreased neural connectivity compared to those who rely on their own brains for writing.

The change in neural connectivity of the brain-only group over the first three sessions was likely the result of becoming more familiar with the study task, a phenomenon known as the ...

This organizing role is critical in shaping the way neural circuits develop and adapt, especially in regions involved in pain and emotion.
