Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

Japanese scientists have created miniature human brain circuits by joining lab-grown thalamus and cortex models from stem ...

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 ...

High-fat diets are linked to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other health problems. High-fat diets can also ...

But researchers were concerned about whether this procedure might have other, less desirable effects. What happens when the right and left sides of the cerebral cortex—responsible for an enormous ...

When a baby smiles at you, it's almost impossible not to smile back. This spontaneous reaction to a facial expression is part ...

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...
