Researchers at Georgia Tech are using math, science, and artificial intelligence to better understand how people think, move, ...

Does the hippocampus only track location? A new study shows how the brain's memory center shifts activity between anterior ...

Hundreds of scans hint at how substances such as psilocybin, LSD and ayahuasca alter connections between key areas of the ...

What if the key to being a better manager isn’t found in a new productivity hack, a different feedback framework, or a time management app—but in understanding the three-pound organ inside your head ...

Some 2.3 million U.S. adults over 65 — more than 4% — have a diagnosis of dementia. But even without a diagnosis, a certain amount of cognitive decline is normal as age sets in. Whether it’s due to ...

Each technological development impacts human brains in a different way. But when the development is a more efficient brain than any human possesses, the impact could be significant for the most ...

“Friction-maxxing” gains popularity as AI makes our lives easier.

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 published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...

Since their discovery in 2004, the grid cells in the brain, which are important for our orientation, have been regarded as a kind of “GPS in the head.” However, scientists at the German Cancer ...

UCSF scientists have developed a “molecular GPS” to guide immune cells into the brain and kill tumors without harming healthy tissue. It is the first living cell therapy that can navigate through the ...
