It’s further proof that even fairly complex neural processes are not the same as consciousness.

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...

Does your brain live in the past? Here's how the brain processes and smooths over out-of-date sensory information ...

Researchers at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, led by Wolf Singer, have made a new discovery in understanding fundamental brain processes. For the first time, the team ...

Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the ...

We know that exercise is good for our physical health, but mounting research is showing that it can help improve our brain ...

Visual art is a subjective experience, but what draws one person into an artwork and turns off another? A new exhibit, "Brains and Beauty: At the Intersection of Art and Neuroscience," explores that ...

Sleep helps the brain to cleanse itself—and now this process can be measured in humans entirely noninvasively. Researchers at the University of Oulu have developed a method that allows the increased ...

Motherhood profoundly rewires the brain, causing structural and functional changes that enhance empathy, social cognition, and multitasking abilities. Often lasting decades, these adaptations help ...

A breakthrough in brain-inspired computing could make today’s energy-hungry AI systems far more efficient. Researchers have engineered a new nanoelectronic device using a modified form of hafnium ...
