In research inspired by the principles of quantum mechanics, researchers from Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) and the University of Oxford reveal new findings to understand why the human brain is able ...

The human brain is formed by a complex network of neural connections and most of them link neighboring brain regions, which are also the most studied to date. But a recent neuroscientific study by ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

We’re constantly making decisions. If I get the pumpkin spice latte, would it make me happier than my usual black coffee? If I go the scenic route on a trip, would it be worth the extra time? Past and ...

Our brains have an extraordinary ability to adapt and learn, a process known as neuroplasticity. From navigating a new city to mastering a new skill, neuroplasticity allows us to reshape our neural ...

Comingling RNA barcodes, each correlating to a neuron, indicate where neurons connect in the brain, letting researchers map neural connection with speed, scale and resolution. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By ...

Why do we spend a third of our lives asleep? A new study, led by researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich, found that staying awake for 28 hours causes a physical buildup of connections between brain ...
