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 ...

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

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 ...

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

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

Facial emotion representations expand from sensory cortex to prefrontal regions across development, suggesting that the prefrontal cortex matures with development to enable a full understanding of ...

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

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new ...
