The human brain continuously processes the wide range of information it acquires from the outside world. Over time, this information is organized into mental representations, referred to as "schema," ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron ...

Researchers have developed a computational framework that maps how the brain processes speech during real-world conversations ...

Using functional MRI brain imaging, University of Oregon researchers have unraveled some of the neural circuitry behind ...

People have two copies of most of their genes, one from each parent. Mutations can change or silence one or both copies. In the case of the Syngap1 gene, research has shown that two working copies are ...

For instance, some brain processes could contribute to memory encoding and decision-making, while others plan and execute their body movements or facial expressions. As they typically occur ...

"The brain begins following a genetic 'blueprint' during embryonic development," Fan noted. Researchers proposed a hypothesis: genetic encoding and cortical connectivity are not directly ...
