How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown cluster of brain cells that may help explain differences in social behavior ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

A neuroscientist survey shows that 40 percent think it might be possible to preserve a human brain, potentially well enough ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...
