A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

A thin, wireless brain implant with 65,000+ sensors maps vision, touch, and movement from the brain’s surface, promising gentler, high‑resolution neural interfaces.

BraDiPho was presented in a paper published in Nature Communications, with Laura Vavassori as first author. She is a doctoral student at the Center for Brain/Mind Sciences (Cimec) of the University of ...

Facial expressions arise from brain networks that encode slow, context-rich meaning and fast muscle control on different time scales, keeping smiles and threats socially precise.

Filippo Beleggia, MD, PhD, didn’t believe his own data. As a postdoctoral researcher, he spent years in the laboratory of Christian Reinhardt, MD, PhD, at the University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, ...

If you ask someone how to lower their risk of a heart attack, most people can name a few steps. But if you ask how to reduce dementia risk, many would assume it is out of their control. But that ...
