This comprehensive review synthesizes a decade of human and animal research to explain how the gut and brain communicate ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation ...

Every moment, the brain balances signals that unfold at different speeds. Some arrive in milliseconds, such as a sudden sound ...

The Bio-Intelligence Initiative investigates how coherent and low-noise neural states observed in the human brain can serve ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

Scientists have long suspected that the trillions of microbes in our intestines do more than digest lunch, but new work goes ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

Our brain is an energy-efficient marvel, with 86 billion neurons and trillions of connections running on just 20 watts—the energy of a single lightbulb. Swiss innovators at Final Spark are ...
