Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

Recent technological advances are allowing neuroscientists to map the human brain with increasing precision, highlighting connections between different regions and their function in greater depth.

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps detail ...

Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

A squishy, fatty, beige-colored organ covered with grooves and ridges, the brain doesn’t look all that impressive on the surface. But hidden underneath are up to 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion ...

Scientists finally found a way to thaw frozen human brain tissue without damaging it. In a groundbreaking development, scientists have discovered a new technique that allows human brain tissue to be ...

Stanford Medicine investigators reported on their development of a new artificial intelligence model that in tests was found to be more than 90% successful at determining whether MRI scans of human ...

A University of Wyoming faculty member is conducting research that aims to enhance our understanding of human brain functions. Diksha Shukla, an assistant professor of computer science in UW’s ...
