Researchers used AI and deep learning to find a link between brain structure and navigation skills but found no measurable ...

In a new article appearing in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led by Cory Shain and Hope Kean, explore how the human brain shows ...

When a magnet is heated up, it reaches a critical point where it loses magnetization. Called "criticality," this point of high complexity is reached when a physical object is transitioning smoothly ...

For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied ...

Biological systems are notoriously tough to model, especially when it comes to figuring out the axons, neurons, blood vessels, and other structural components of gray matter, or the tissue that makes ...

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...

A new study has found that psychopaths show structural changes in particular areas of the brain that deal with things like impulse control and emotional regulation. This improved understanding may ...

Researchers identify the fusiform imagery node as the brain's "imagination hub," explaining why strokes can cause the loss of visual mental imagery.

Steven Weisberg, a researcher at the University of Texas at Arlington, found that advanced artificial intelligence tools ...

A few minutes beside trees or water can shift the brain into a calmer state. That change is not just a feeling.
