Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, ...

New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending on ...

Researchers have created one of the most detailed virtual mouse cortex simulations ever achieved by combining massive ...

MIT researchers discovered that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t just send generic control signals—it tailors its messages to ...

In A Nutshell Lab-grown human brain cells spontaneously organize into precise firing sequences without any sensory experience ...

Understanding how the brain learns and applies rules is the key to unraveling the neural basis of flexible behavior. A new ...

Our brains do not react in a fixed, mechanical way like electronic circuits. Even if we see the same scene every day on our commute to work, what we feel—and whether it leaves a lasting ...

Learn how the brain sorts fleeting moments from lasting memories using a multi-stage molecular process.

Long-term memory emerges from a sequence of molecular programs that sort, stabilize, and reinforce important experiences.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 4 (January 25, 2022), pp. 1-12 (12 pages) To further advance functional MRI (fMRI)–based brain science, ...
