For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

If you have ever lifted a weight, you know the routine: challenge the muscle, give it rest, feed it and repeat. Over time, it grows stronger. Of course, muscles only grow when the challenge increases ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the brain developed during ...

Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

A neurologist explains why the brain strengthens much like muscle –\u00A0through challenge, rest and novelty – and how simple ...

One of the most striking outcomes of the surface-minimization framework is its ability to explain structural features that ...

A recent study in mice suggests that microglia, immune cells found in the brain, may play a role in early memory loss, or ...
