For decades, the search for the origins of memory loss has focused almost exclusively on two regions of the brain: the prefrontal cortex and the ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain's cortex control different body movements. This fundamental discovery dates to the 1930s, when neurosurgeons used ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Neural circuits associated with three cortical regions in cognitive generalization with different manifestations from different species. (A) Emotionrelated brain regions mainly project to PFC and OFC; ...

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a major mental disorder, affecting 1% of the global population. Patients suffering from BD ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...
