Vision happens when patterns of light entering the eye are converted into reliable patterns of brain activity. This reliability allows the brain to recognize the same object each time it is seen. Our ...

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between these changes remains unclear. Prof. Yuhui Du's team at the College of Computer ...

There’s a mysterious energy quietly influencing your brain. Could it explain where your consciousness originates?

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

A few blobs of lab-grown brain tissue have demonstrated a striking proof of concept: living neural circuits can be nudged toward solving a classic control problem through carefully structured feedback ...

The human voice represents one of our most complex biological achievements—a sophisticated interplay between brain, nerves, muscles, and breath that produces the nuanced sounds of human speech. As ...

Where fat hides in the body is emerging as a powerful predictor of how quickly the brain ages. New imaging research links ...
