The subtleties involved here reflect the fact that the brain’s dizzying complexity means it’s rarely possible to draw simple ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures, the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen—like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

Using fMRI data collected from people viewing film clips, MIT neuroscientists created a comprehensive map of the cerebral ...

A part of the brain called the pallium is responsible for complex functions and cognition, and is one thing that sets humans ...

Using a novel system, researchers found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously thought. Instead, the striatum and the motor cortex work ...

Human evolution has revolved around food, from identifying and foraging for it to growing and preparing it. Carnegie Mellon ...

Individual neurons differentiate between internal and external motion. Neuroscientists have identified how the brain differentiates between visual motion in the external environment and motion caused ...
