"If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, the Doom guy shoots." The post Researchers Get Human Brain Cells Running Doom ...

A research team at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a new noninvasive brain stimulation technique, by showing how focused ultrasound affects the human brain. Using brainwave recordings from ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

Human brains can sense rhythm and melody from birth, showing music may be part of biology rather than something learned.

The 'silent' X chromosome within female brains may not be so silent after all. A new study has found evidence in both mice and humans that as we age, 'sleeping' X chromosomes can be 'awakened' in ...

Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process human speech in different languages. The extent to which these models replicate ...

The brain’s hidden timing code When I look at the latest work on brain dynamics, the most striking idea is that every region of the cortex seems to run on its own preferred tempo. Scientists describe ...

Scientists found special brain connections in seals and sea lions that help control vocal sounds. This may explain how speech ...

Being right- or left-handed is a familiar fact about yourself that you likely don't think about much on a day-to-day basis. However, your handedness affects how you interact with the world.
