The brain never rests: even during deep sleep or under anesthesia, it maintains rhythmic electrical activity known as slow oscillations. A team from the Sensory-motor Processing by Subcortical Areas ...

Many mammals physically pivot their ears to hone in on a particular sound, and now it seems that a similar action takes place ...

To fill in the full picture of what is happening around us, our brains process attention systematically, taking in general facts first and then narrowing down to specifics.

Fluctuations in brain activity, also known as neural variability, enable us to be flexible in adjusting our behavior to the ...

The first complete activity map of the brain has been unveiled by a large international collaboration of neuroscientists. The International Brain Laboratory (IBL) researchers published their findings ...

Children get annual checkups with a pediatrician to determine if they are thriving. This is done by assessing if their height and weight are progressing at expected rates. But how do we measure ...

A key to understanding the brain lies in unpacking how hundreds of interconnected brain areas process information that leads to various outputs. In order to try to understand this, researchers ...

Researchers have created a hairlike device for long-term, non-invasive monitoring of the brain's electrical activity. The lightweight and flexible electrode attaches directly to the scalp and delivers ...
