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 ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Scientists have found a key brain network that’s disrupted by Parkinson’s disease, according to a study published today in ...

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

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that ...

Our brains begin to create internal representations of the world around us from the first moment we open our eyes. We perceptually assemble components of scenes into recognizable objects thanks to ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...
