Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

We investigated how our brains process language during real-life conversations. Specifically, we wanted to understand which brain regions become active when we're speaking and listening, and how these ...

Learn the new science of brain development and discover the importance of connections and learning for ongoing brain health.

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

Imagine seeing a furry, four-legged animal that meows. Mentally, you know what it is, but the word 'cat' is stuck on the tip of your tongue. This phenomenon, known as Broca's aphasia or expressive ...

Dialogue with adults may lead to stronger pathways between two brain regions. Adults who hold back-and-forth conversations with young children rather than just talking to them may be helping to ...

There's nothing quite like getting lost in an excellent book (or an article from your favorite science news site). But we know surprisingly little about what actually goes on in the brain as it ...

Exploring uses for artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning is de rigueur, and large language models (LLMs) are having their moment in the spotlight. Last year, LLMs were used in a variety of ...
