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 ...

You may scarcely notice it, but much of what you do every day requires your brain to engage in perceptual learning. To safely ...

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

A research team has uncovered the neural mechanisms underlying the processing of pain and itch in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). This study provides new insights into how the brain distinguishes ...

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 ...
