A new study has uncovered how the brain seamlessly transforms sounds, speech patterns, and words into the flow of everyday conversations. Using advanced technology to analyze over 100 hours of brain ...

Are the same technologies that promise to make us smarter making us less capable of the mental work that builds understanding ...

Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle movement, but these signals typically pass through spinal interneurons before they reach their destination. How the brain and this highly ...

It has been unclear how to build simulations of entire neural circuits with only measurements from a dead fly’s brain. Using machine learning to combine a wiring diagram with knowledge of the ...

Fear memories can form in the brain following exposure to threatening situations such as natural disasters, accidents, or violence. When these memories become excessive or distorted, they can lead to ...

In the split second that is needed to view a stop sign and react to it, our brain navigates a complex process that transitions seamlessly from perception to action control. This ability to halt or ...

With the support of the NINDS Research Program Award, McIntyre will use patient-specific models to better understand how ...

Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

Jaideep Mavoori, a University of Washington researcher, spends a lot of time thinking about communicationsnot telephone or radio, but the sophisticated network that is the human body's nervous system.

Our brains have an extraordinary ability to adapt and learn, a process known as neuroplasticity. From navigating a new city to mastering a new skill, neuroplasticity allows us to reshape our neural ...
