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

A new study reveals that the brain may handle voluntary and forced decisions using remarkably similar neural mechanisms.

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 ...

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 ...

For decades, researchers have documented an achievement gap between children from higher- and lower-income families. On average, children with more resources perform better in school and on cognitive ...

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

Seven participants had electrodes temporarily implanted in a brain structure important for learning. While anesthetized, ...

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 ...
