Over the past decades, neuroscience studies have painted an increasingly detailed picture of the human brain, its organization and how it supports various functions. To plan and execute desired ...
Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...
A global team has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. A global collaboration of over 150 researchers has created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian ...
You’ve probably noticed it yourself: As a teenager, you chased thrills headlong—late-night parties, first dates, impulsive dares—while today you hesitate before clicking “Buy,” let alone bungee ...
A team of researchers at Stanford University has mapped a specific brain circuit in mice that sustains chronic pain without ...
A new study provides the first visual evidence showing that brain circuits in living animals can be activated by ultrasound waves projected into specific patterns (holograms). Led by scientists at NYU ...
MIT researchers have discovered how an immune system molecule triggers neurons in a specific brain circuit to shut down social behavior in mice modeling infection. "I just can't make it tonight. You ...
