The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

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 ...

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks.

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying ...

Career decisions are about more than logistics; they’re also about meaning, satisfaction, and identity. And because long-term ...

A surprising new brain study suggests that remembering life events and recalling facts may rely on the same neural machinery.

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...
