Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

When a baby smiles at you, it's almost impossible not to smile back. This spontaneous reaction to a facial expression is part ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Every illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...

Neuronal responses in cortical area MT to two speeds show a robust bias toward the faster speed when stimulus speeds are slow, which could benefit figure-ground segregation in natural scenes.

Light is quietly becoming the new language of brain technology. Instead of thick wires and skull-penetrating electrodes, a ...

In a study published in Neuron, a research team led by Prof. WANG Liping from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the neural circuit ...

The mysteries of the brain have captivated scientists for more than 100 years, most notably illustrated in the detailed drawings of neuroanatomist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. These drawings and his ...
