Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

A neural probe has been used to capture the activity of large populations of single neurons as people are speaking or listening, providing detailed insights into how the brain encodes specific ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

Brain scientists looked inside the open skulls of 16 epilepsy patients and tracked how a thought develops and moves.

An international team of scientists led by the University of Surrey has discovered that a form of safe, painless, and non-invasive brain stimulation could help people who are at risk of falling behind ...

Attention disorders such as ADHD involve a breakdown in our ability to separate signal from noise. The brain is constantly ...

Study demonstrated that the Homer1 gene improves focus by reducing “noise” in the prefrontal cortex, with implications for studying attention disorders.

Much criminal behavior derives from logical, if not laudable, sources. A wonderful example of this was seen in the old Bob Newhart television show. Newhart, playing a clinical psychologist, leans ...
