Researchers discover decision-making signals in the brain's early sensory regions, suggesting bidirectional feedback loops ...

A team of researchers in the Netherlands has proposed a new way of designing computer models of the brain—an approach that could also influence future artificial intelligence (AI) systems. In most ...

For decades, researchers have attempted to pinpoint the specific areas of the brain responsible for human intelligence. A new analysis suggests that general intelligence involves the coordination of ...

When a writer comes up with a striking metaphor, when an engineer solves a tricky problem by combining seemingly unrelated ...

In a comprehensive Genomic Press Interview published in Brain Medicine, Dr. Michael C. Oldham shares his unconventional journey from advertising executive to computational neuroscientist and his ...

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

New insight into decision-making pathways in the brain may impact the way engineers think about artificial intelligence, ...

A new study has investigated the genetics that underlie brain structure. With more than 36,000 brain scans and a wealth of human genetic data, scientists identified over 4,000 genetic variants that ...

Charlie is thirteen. He has Williams syndrome (WS). When either his mother's egg or his father's sperm were forming, about 20 genes were dropped from chromosome seven. Those 20 might not seem like ...
