The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

The representation of individual memories in a recurrent neural network can be efficiently differentiated using chaotic recurrent dynamics.

Researchers have discovered a brain activity pattern that can predict which people with mild cognitive impairment are likely ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

A new study shows that the human brain stores what we remember and the context in which it happens using different neurons.

“Language is a huge field, and we are novices in this. We know a lot about how different areas of the brain are involved in linguistic tasks, but the details are not very clear,” says Mohsen Jamali, a ...
