The first complete activity map of the brain has been unveiled by a large international collaboration of neuroscientists. The International Brain Laboratory (IBL) researchers published their findings ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

Researchers have completed the first-ever activity map of a mammalian brain in a groundbreaking duo of studies, and it has rewritten scientists' understanding of how decisions are made. The project, ...

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Neuroscientists have long held that the brain reorganizes itself when a body part is amputated. A new ...

Brain-wide map showing 75,000 analysed neurons lighting up during different stages of decision-making. At the beginning of the trial, the activity is quiet. Then it builds up in the visual areas at ...

A new study suggests that the brain uses distinct neural pathways to process different aspects of personal well-being. The research indicates that evaluating family relationships activates specific ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have found that the brain holds a ‘map’ of the body that remains unchanged even after a limb has been amputated, contrary to the prevailing view that it ...

Doidge (2010), referring to a study undertaken by Michael Merzenich et al. (1983), found that “[w]hen it came to allocating brain‑processing power,” the brain allocated “[its] neurological resources” ...
