Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...
If you have ever lifted a weight, you know the routine: challenge the muscle, give it rest, feed it and repeat. Over time, it ...
A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...
For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...
New research suggests that consistent aerobic exercise can help keep your brain biologically younger. Adults who exercised regularly for a year showed brains that appeared nearly a year younger than ...
Brain scans show a spot in the cerebellum attuned specifically to words, expanding on studies that point to the region's ...
Research shows that delaying important tasks is often driven by how the brain processes stress and threat—not by poor time ...
How is intelligence measured in your corner of the world? For many people, it boils down to school grades and test scores, ...
