UCLA researchers have made a significant discovery showing that biological brains and artificial intelligence systems develop remarkably similar neural patterns during social interaction. This ...

A new brain imaging study reveals that in young children, the neural systems for language and for understanding others' thoughts and feelings develop in distinct brain regions, mirroring patterns seen ...

Tiny lab-grown brains are offering an unprecedented look at how schizophrenia and bipolar disorder disrupt neural activity. Researchers found distinct electrical firing patterns that could identify ...

Past neuroscience research has identified patterns in neural activity typically observed when humans are engaged in value-based decision-making. This is the process through which humans choose between ...

In the cerebral cortex, numerous neurons exchange information through junctions known as synapses. The strength of each synaptic connection changes depending on the activity levels of the neurons ...

The brain is not a random collection of neurons. Across species, evolution has preserved key hierarchical architectural features, including modular organization, characterized by patches of densely ...
