Systems Neuroscience
Researchers built a model that behaves like a brain. Without being trained on neural data, the model produced a peculiar signal — one that was later discovered in actual brain activity.
In the brain's language-processing centers, some cells respond to one word, while others respond to strings of words together.
A new framework describes how thought arises from the coordination of neural activity driven by oscillating electric fields — a.k.a. brain “waves” or “rhythms.”
It has already been trialed in people and could give us a better way to analyze and stimulate the brain.
Brain activity may be more like "ripples in a pond" rather than signals sent on a telecommunications network.
This is the latest study to confirm that the brain does not fully mature until at least the third decade of life.
This opens the door to manipulating networks of specific neurons.
Two aspects of memory – fast updating and long lasting – are typically considered incompatible, yet the insects combined them.
Your brain is remarkably good at mapping out physical spaces — even if it's an imaginary space like Hogwarts. But how does the brain do it?
Despite the wide diversity of spider species, most orb-weavers seem to follow the same playbook when building their webs.
