Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

Learn more about the new study, which highlights the importance of analyzing brain structure and connectivity simultaneously.

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

An AI-produced rendering shows a map of mouse brain regions, overlaid with network motifs. (UCSF Illustration) Scientists say an artificial intelligence program that they compare to ChatGPT has helped ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" ...

It’s been recognized for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently and that tau — a protein known to misbehave — plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps ...

Your mental image of your brain probably looks something like what's pictured here. The cerebrum, shown here, is where all the really important stuff is supposed to happen in humans: consciousness, ...
