A study by Alison Preston and colleagues focused on how old and new memories are integrated in the hippocampus.
Researchers examining postmortem human brains have found that the prefrontal cortex, the region responsible for planning, impulse control, and weighing consequences, continues to prune and refine its ...
Our first neurons form during the earliest weeks of development in the womb. As the brain takes shape, those neurons move about and cluster with others to create brain regions. Then they begin the ...
In research inspired by the principles of quantum mechanics, researchers from Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) and the University of Oxford reveal new findings to understand why the human brain is able ...
A team of researchers in the Netherlands has proposed a new way of designing computer models of the brain—an approach that could also influence future artificial intelligence (AI) systems. In most ...
Our brains have an extraordinary ability to adapt and learn, a process known as neuroplasticity. From navigating a new city to mastering a new skill, neuroplasticity allows us to reshape our neural ...
The human brain requires constant nourishment to maintain its complex network of billions of neurons, yet certain foods actively work against optimal brain function. While most people focus on foods ...
In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...
