Scientists reveal the brain emits faint light that reflects mental activity, opening a new path for non-invasive brain ...

For more than a decade, my work as a neuroscientist has focused on the auditory cortex. My lab has shown that mice process sound differently in the left and right hemispheres of their brains, and ...

What makes the human brain distinctive? A new study published July 21 in Cell identifies two genes linked to human brain ...

Researchers reveal how modeling the human brain’s hidden wiring could push AI beyond its current limits into human-like ...

Researchers found that the uncinate fasciculus, a tract tied to emotion and memory, strongly correlated with dominance behaviors in squirrel monkeys.

Left-handedness was once thought to be uniquely human About 10.6 percent of humans are left-handers, and the remaining 89.4 percent are right-handers ( Papadatou-Pastou and co-workers, 2020 ).

Left and right brains hear speech differently, yet how this divide forms was unclear − until mouse studies showed each hemisphere runs on its own developmental clock.

Your brain breaks apart fleeting streams of acoustic information into parallel channels—linguistic, emotional and musical—and acts as a biological multicore processor. Although scientists have ...
