Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no cure and limited treatment options.

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope.

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...
