Understanding how the human brain stores information and later uses it to complete various tasks has been a long-standing goal of neuroscience and psychology research. Past studies have identified ...

The process of deciphering information conveyed by neurons in the human brain is known as neural coding. Conventionally, it has been done by considering how neurons change their rate of firing signals ...

Researchers have shed new light on how the brain processes and synthesizes information. Findings help solve a longstanding mystery in neuroscience. For decades, scientists have focused on how the ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain, is now known to be ...

The neuron, the specialized cell type that makes up much of our brain, is at the center of today’s neuroscience. Neuroscientists explain perception, memory, cognition and even consciousness itself as ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain so far, by mapping cells in 1 cubic millimetre of a mouse’s brain tissue 1. In a landmark achievement, the ...
