Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...

All around us is a rich world for us to experience. Inside our minds, we have our own understanding of the world, ourselves, and everything in it. How does the brain do any of this? There’s all this ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

A new study shows that the brain activity behind decision-making is far more widespread across the organ than first thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Not everyone is able to think quickly, but here are 11 obvious signs your mind works faster than the average person.

In their classic 1998 textbook on cognitive neuroscience, Michael Gazzaniga, Richard Ivry, and George Mangun made a sobering observation: there was no clear mapping between how we process language and ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals). These whisper-quiet incoming messages are the release of ...

In “How to Change a Memory,” neuroscientist Steve Ramirez embarks on a project to find and reactivate memories in the brains of mice. November 14, 2025 The following is an excerpt from How to Change a ...

You can see it coming in right there, that little spot,” says neuroscientist and engineer Laura Lewis. A remarkably bright pulsing dot has appeared on the monitor in front of us. We are watching, in ...
