Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

To study how a key chemical neuromodulator affects signaling in the brain's cortex, Garrett Neske, PhD, has received a three-year, $300,000 grant from the Whitehall Foundation, a nonprofit ...

This valuable study uses state-of-the-art neural encoding and video reconstruction methods to achieve a substantial improvement in video reconstruction quality from mouse neural data. It provides a ...

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, ...

MIT researchers discovered that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t just send generic control signals—it tailors its messages to different brain regions based on arousal and movement. Credit: ...

One of the most detailed simulations of the mouse cortex has been developed by the researchers. In this case, the team managed to develop the model of the digital brain using the Fugaku supercomputer ...
