For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

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 ...

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

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope.

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...

Ever wake at night needing a drink of water and then find your way to the kitchen in the dark without stubbing your toe? Researchers at the University of California, San Diego say they have identified ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...
