Researchers discover rotating spiral brain waves that travel across cortical networks, acting as a space-and-time clock for ...

Sleep is one of the most widely studied states of consciousness, known to play a role in physical recovery, the processing of ...

The cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the mammalian brain, is known to play a key role in numerous higher-level processes, including language, memory and decision-making. While countless studies ...

A connectome 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 is a representation of neuronal connections among involved neurons, neuronal populations and brain regions. Connectomes have been intensively studied at various scales, ...

Short-term memory deficits have been associated with prefrontal cortex (PFC) dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD mouse models. Extratelencephalic projection (ET) neurons in the PFC play a ...

The same memory can feel vivid and accessible one moment, yet stubbornly out of reach the next - even when the memory itself remains intact.

The ability to sense regular patterns is fundamental to making sense of the world. Stimulus from the environment activates a group of neurons in the frontoparietal region of the brain called the ...

A team of researchers from three institutions has identified two biologically distinct subtypes of autism, each defined by opposite patterns of brain-wide communication. One subtype is marked by ...

When a person thinks, speaks, eats, walks, or just sits comfortably with all bodily systems functioning normally, the billions of cells that make up the brain and the rest of the nervous system are ...
