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 ...

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

The activity of neurons in the mammalian brain is known to contribute to the development of the brain at the early stages of development. While past neuroscientific studies have gathered evidence ...

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 ...

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

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...

Vision feels like a camera feed from the eyes, but new work on a hidden brain circuit suggests what we see is constantly edited by internal signals about how alert, focused, or distracted we are.

PRINCETON, N.J. — Every second, millions of neurons in your brain fight against distraction. While you read these words, your ...
