An international collaboration led by Cornell researchers used a combination of psilocybin and the rabies virus to map ...

MIT scientists found that what we see is strongly influenced by how alert or active we are. Parts of the brain responsible ...

Vision feels like a camera feed from the eyes, but new work on a hidden brain circuit suggests what we see is constantly ...

Neural circuits produce electrical patterns very early in the brain's development process, even before senses are active.

A new MIT study illustrates how areas within the brain’s executive control center tailor their messages in specific circuits with other brain regions to influence them with information about behavior ...

An international collaboration led by Cornell University researchers used a combination of psilocybin and the rabies virus to ...

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 biological datasets with the extraordinary power of Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer.

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, ...
