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 ...

Researchers have found evidence for a theory that views intelligence as a property of how the brain functions as a whole, rather than relating it to a specific cognitive function or brain network.

Mice moving tiny steering wheels to control shapes on a screen have given scientists an unprecedented view of how decisions unfold across the brain. For the first time, researchers have mapped ...

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision centers of a mouse brain, revealing the exquisite structures and ...

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

A key to understanding the brain lies in unpacking how hundreds of interconnected brain areas process information that leads to various outputs. In order to try to understand this, researchers ...

This so-called Brain Activity Map project is inspired by the success of the Human Genome Project in mapping the genetic code. The proposal was outlined in the journal Neuron last summer by a group of ...

Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during ...

Let a mouse nose around a house, and it will rapidly find food and form a strategy to return to it without getting caught. Given the same task, an AI would require millions of training examples and ...

New research has highlighted the importance of the "caudate".
