When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation ...

Generating new memories and remembering are two sides of the same coin, although sometimes they can appear as separate mechanisms. These mechanisms which seem to be distanced from each other are ...

Learning a new task, mastering a musical instrument or being able to adapt to the constantly changing environment are all possible thanks to the brain’s plasticity, or its ability to modify itself by ...

Harvard affiliates developed a silicon chip that successfully mapped more than 70,000 synaptic connections from 2,000 rat neurons, advancing a new recording technology to complement existing neural ...
