A study of people who underwent surgery to treat epilepsy suggests the hippocampus may process words and speech when people ...

New research suggests pregnancy doesn’t impair the brain—it reshapes it, refining memory, attention, and emotional awareness ...

The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...

Unexpected brain activity: Researchers found that the hippocampus processes sounds and language even when patients are fully unconscious under general anesthesia. Challenging old assumptions: The ...

New research challenges traditional views of how the brain makes decisions, suggesting that even its earliest regions play a ...

New insight into decision-making pathways in the brain may impact the way engineers think about artificial intelligence, ...

A research team has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in motion. The study provides new insights into ...

Scientists were studying the human brain when they realized it was detecting something it shouldn't. The human brain can ...

They also zoomed in on a key enzyme called ACLY. Think of it as a middleman that helps convert glucose into a form cells can use to grow and divide. By disrupting this enzyme, researchers could see ...

A Baylor College of Medicine study published in Nature reveals that the hippocampus can process and even predict language while patients are under general anesthesia. Using advanced neural probes ...
