For centuries, philosophers have asked: where, in the mind, does a decision begin? Is there a moment we can point to and say—there, that’s when the mind… made up its mind? Neuroscience has long tried ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...

Mice turning tiny steering wheels to move shapes on a screen have helped scientists produce the first brain-wide map of decision-making at single-cell resolution in a mammal. Subscribe to our ...

Critical thinking requires a variety of perspectives for comparison, evaluation and synthesizing. Author and doctor Edward de Bono developed the six-hat concept, a process of thinking critically about ...

The way in which consumers are influenced by emotions in the decision-making process has become evident in the last couple of decades. Traditionally, consumers have been asked ‘how they feel about ...

Visualization of 75,000 neurons (colored dots) active across the brain of an adult mouse across different stages of a decision-making task. Dot size reflects a cell’s average firing rate, such that ...
