Neuroscientists are developing methods to map the brain systems that allow us to recognize and get around our world.

Many behavioral studies suggest that using landmarks to navigate through large-scale spaces—known as map-based navigation—is ...

A recent study has discovered three common brain abnormalities in insomnia, anxiety, and depression, including a smaller ...

A new study has revealed how two morphogens, WNT and Sonic Hedgehog, act as molecular "traffic cops," directing early human ...

Scientists tested two major theories about consciousness. They found the back of the brain handles fine visual details.

GNWT, by contrast, argues that consciousness occurs when certain information is “broadcast” across a network of brain regions ...

Consciousness is at the centre of human existence, the ability to see, hear, dream, imagine, feel pain or pleasure, dread, love and more. But where precisely does this reside in the brain? That is a ...

Starting in the 1970s, researchers identified a beautiful system of specialised cells in the hippocampus (the brain’s memory ...

Researchers identified a region of the thalamus that predicts and nullifies the effects of movement on visual perception, ...

For decades, neuroscientists have developed mathematical frameworks to explain how brain activity drives behavior in ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new ...
