Neuroscientists have set up computer frameworks that can help model individual brain dynamics.

Certain proteins found in the human brain have long been known to be critical to controlling how brain cells communicate with each other. So-called GABA A receptors are proteins that control the flow ...

Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural map of ...

The complexity of the human brain—86 billion neurons strong with more than 100 trillion connections—enables abstract thinking ...

Certain proteins found in the human brain have long been known to be critical to controlling how brain cells communicate with each other. So-called ...

Stanford Medicine scientists are generating a periodic table of sorts for psychiatric disorders, providing a better ...

A study by Professor Kei Nagashima and Dr. Hironori Watanabe from Waseda University explored how the brain distinguishes ...

The human brain, as the seat of mental life—from the most complicated intellectual processes down to routine and unconscious bodily control—is necessarily enormously complex. The largest part ...

Researchers at Waseda University used EEG to map brain activity during thermal perception, identifying ten cortical regions ...

Researchers have measured the thinking time of London taxi drivers—famous for their knowledge of more than 26,000 streets across the city—as part of a study into the future of AI route-mapping.

When dealing with a human brain, preventing perception would require even more care. If a person’s brain inched toward consciousness under such an experiment, the consequences would be thorny ...
