A new study shows that the cerebral cortex predicts the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memory ...

Human evolution has revolved around food, from identifying and foraging for it to growing and preparing it. Researchers have identified a region in the brain's visual cortex that responds to food and ...

Neuroscientists have discovered how the brain distinguishes between visual motion occurring in the external world from that ...

Mathematicians are investigating how the intricate folds in the human brain – which have increased as our species has evolved – help to improve our brainpower.

Neuroscientists have discovered how the brain distinguishes between visual motion occurring in the external world from that ...

Their work, published in the journal Cerebral Cortex, outlines a method for the use of neuroimaging data to predict elements of cognition and behavioral variables. The technique involves examining ...

the response weakens activity of the brain’s decision-making center in the prefrontal cortex. Overcoming addiction usually entails not just stopping use of a substance but also discovering or ...

Researchers from the Institute of Automation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed the intrinsic relationship between the topological structure of human brain cortex connections and ...

A newly identified part of a brain circuit mixes sensory information, memories, and emotions to tell whether things are familiar or new, and important or just 'background noise.' ...

The thalamus is a brain area that is located between the cerebral cortex and midbrain ... Segobin and colleagues outline the challenges that this presents to our understanding of the function ...
