After years of research, neuroscientists have discovered a new pathway in the human brain that processes the sounds of language. The findings, reported August 18 in the journal Cell, suggest that ...

In a study comparing human brain communication networks with those of macaques and mice, EPFL researchers found that only the human brains transmitted information via multiple parallel pathways, ...

Neuromorphic computing seeks to replicate the behaviour of biological neurons to achieve more adaptive and energy-efficient ...

In the early 20th century scientists began to record brain activity using electrodes attached to the scalp. To their surprise, they saw that brain activity is characterized by slow and rapid ascending ...

A new study published in the journal Cerebral Cortex provides evidence that differences in general intelligence may be partly explained by the density of neurites within certain brain connections, and ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

A team of scientists has uncovered a system in the brain used in the processing of information and in the storing of memories--akin to how railroad switches control a train’s destination. The findings ...

Scientists at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and collaborators compared human brain communication networks with those of macaques and mice and found that only the human brains ...
