The default mode network (DMN) is a set of interconnected brain regions known to be most active when humans are awake but not ...

A new study led by researchers at Mass General Brigham suggests that different brain regions activated by creative tasks are ...

Researchers have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus -- a region responsible for learning and memory.

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system. These regions, including the cortex, basal ganglia, brainstem, and ...

Our brains build maps of the environment that help us understand the world around us, allowing us to think, recall, and plan.

Harvard researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a ...

Scientists found that evolution led bird and mammal brains to evolve separately, using different genetic instructions.

Harvard researchers have mapped and cataloged more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a ...

Dubbed the “creativity circuit,” damage to this area due to injury or brain disease resulted in both decreases and increases ...

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

Research shows adults sleeping less than six hours face accelerated brain aging and cognitive decline, with high blood ...
