Consciousness has long been treated as philosophy’s most stubborn mystery, yet a growing body of neuroscience is now tying our inner life to specific, testable brain mechanisms. A leading MIT ...

Is language core to thought, or a separate process? For 15 years, the neuroscientist Ev Fedorenko has gathered evidence of a ...

New research using human brain organoids shows that early neural activity follows structured, time-based patterns long before sensory experience begins.

Meta is testing artificial intelligence systems that can turn patterns of brain activity into text, effectively letting ...

Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts. Are we born with a pre-configured brain, or do thought patterns only begin to emerge in response to our sensory experiences of the ...

But are we close to reading other people's minds? Blindfolded people stand back to back in this undated file photo. Getty Images — -- An international team of scientists has succeeded in ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form ...

Have you ever wondered how fast our brains work? Well, scientists have recently quantified the brain’s speed limit. They revealed that from sensory organs, the brain processes signals at only about 10 ...

Our brain continuously spins out thoughts, whether we want it to or not. When unwanted thoughts keep occurring, despite our efforts to control them, they feed a cycle of rumination that’s at the heart ...

Long-term memory emerges from a sequence of molecular programs that sort, stabilize, and reinforce important experiences.

New research suggests the human brain has five distinct ages, and it may not reach adulthood until a person's early 30s.

Past work from Cornell professor Alex Kwan and his team showed that psilocybin can increase the brain’s structural plasticity ...
