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 ...

A new study suggests that the brain processes information with high efficiency by synchronizing the physical wiring of neural networks with the varying speeds of local brain activity. Published in ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

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 ...

How discovering that different parts of the brain work together as networks has transformed our understanding of everything ...

Every moment, the brain balances signals that unfold at different speeds. Some arrive in milliseconds, such as a sudden sound ...

Doidge (2010), referring to a study undertaken by Michael Merzenich et al. (1983), found that “[w]hen it came to allocating brain‑processing power,” the brain allocated “[its] neurological resources” ...

The brain’s ability to switch between fast and slow processes depends on communication between regions, new research reveals.

A new study suggests that a little-known region deep in the brain could be crucial for preserving physical strength as we age ...
