Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

Brain-to-brain verbal communication in humans was first accomplished in 2014 when brain-computer interfaces helped transmit a message from India to France. Since then, some progress has been made on ...

Neuroscientists are finding that when two people interact, their brains do not work in isolation. Instead, patterns of activity in one brain begin to mirror patterns in another, hinting that human ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell communications in living brain tissue from mice and humans. Findings from the new ...

Great ideas so often get lost in translation -- from the math teacher who can't get through to his students, to a stand-up comedian who bombs during an open mic night. But how can we measure whether ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

These transitions correspond to meaningful shifts in how the brain balances global communication with local specialization, and they align closely with known stages of cognitive, emotional, and health ...

UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors in a setting that closely mirrors the human brain, shedding light on how ...

Human brains still react to chimp voices, hinting at a deep evolutionary link in how we recognize sound.
