When we learn a new skill, our brain forms new connections between the neurons. The more we do the new skill, the stronger ...

When you are weighing two possible actions, your brain needs to decide what to do and how to do it. For example, if a book ...

To understand the full relationship between brain activity and behavior, scientists have needed a way to map this relationship for all of the neurons across a whole brain - a so far insurmountable ...

Failure avoidance has a bigger influence on changing human behavior than previously understood. Your brain holds a secret. There’s something in there that controls the keys to your behavior. It also ...

To understand the full relationship between brain activity and behavior, scientists need a way to map this relationship for all of the neurons across a whole brain, something that has so far remained ...

The intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence is proving to be a fertile ground for groundbreaking advancements. As technology evolves, so too does our capability to understand the ...

Researchers model and map how neurons across the tiny brain of a C. elegans worm encode its behaviors, revealing many new insights about the robustness and flexibility of its nervous system. To ...

A brain aneurysm itself, the diagnosis and treatment process, and the knowledge of having an unruptured brain aneurysm may all affect a person’s mood and behavior. An unruptured brain aneurysm is a ...

Using a novel system, researchers found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously thought. Instead, the striatum and the motor cortex work ...
