The human brain has upward of 86 billion neurons, connected by some 100 trillion synapses
Optogenetics revolutionized neuroscience, but its origins come from an entirely brainless organism—an alga.
Decluttering is a challenge for many Americans, but neuroscience indicates we can make the process easier on ourselves and our loved ones.
New study shows how the frontoparietal cortex manages information flow and guides responses. The frontoparietal cortex, the brain’s information hub, helps coordinate responses when...

Angela Franks on the hard problem.
Researchers have identified striking parallels between Sigmund Freud’s century-old theories and modern neuroscience, suggesting that the brain’s constant predictions shape how we e...
Scientists exploring the brain’s “blue place” discovered the longest neuron ever measured in a mouse and uncovered new clues about how the brain learns. When mice in a decision-mak...
The findings, co-led by scientists at Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB), are expected to unlock unprecedented insights into the neural mechanisms...

It would be decades before people found the brain circuitry that underlies this construction. Doing so required both new technology and the courage to use it in a novel way. Develo...
Fascinated by meter and aware through experience of the challenges of teaching it to students, Andrea Calilhanna studies neuroscience to find ways to improve how meter is taught.
A neuroscientist is challenging the idea that the brain contains a central system that actually “makes” our decisions. What we experience as choosing may instead emerge from the co...
Moving beyond labels and descriptions to explain mental disorders by electrical and chemical signals. The post What Is the Millennium Prize Problem in Neuroscience? appeared first...
The human brain is often described as one of biology’s greatest mysteries. Researchers at Stanford have found evidence that the developing brain begins from two distinct developmen...
Research suggests that the brain is two distinct organs that evolved independently and comprise two ancient nervous systems packaged together; a hindbrain that regulates essential...
Precision Neuroscience has raised $250m in a Series D round for its brain-computer interface, the New York company announced on Thursday. Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square, the Ackman...
Neuroscience says what we call a spiritual awakening may be the brain briefly loosening the boundaries that normally define who we are. For centuries, mystics and theologians have...
Learn how brain tissue donated to science after death gives clues about genetic changes in neurological disorders and how we might target them better in future patients.
Scientists have found that the human brain develops from two distinct cellular systems, suggesting that evolution fused together two ancient nervous systems with very different job...
