You might expect that with age comes a natural progression of brain degeneration, but new research shows that this might not be the case for all regions of the brain. A new analysis of mouse and human ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

New research shows AI language models mirror how the human brain builds meaning over time while listening to natural speech.

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...

Scientists have found that the human brain understands spoken language in a surprisingly similar way to advanced AI systems.

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

"Our study shows that CA1 neurons are organized into four thin, continuous bands, each representing a different neuron type defined by a unique molecular signature. These layers aren't fixed in place; ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like telling a leaf apart from a rock. But they have struggled to build ...

Our vision is amazing. We can judge distances, recognise objects, navigate rugged terrain, catch a frisbee, and so much more based on slight differences in the light that enters our eyes. Decoding all ...
