Imagine a horse stumbling on a rock. It regains momentum, then hits bumpier terrain and slows to a walk. Back on steady ...

People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experience traumatic memories differently than other types of negative memories. A recent Nature Neuroscience study investigates the neural patterns ...

In the cerebral cortex, numerous neurons exchange information through junctions known as synapses. The strength of each synaptic connection changes depending on the activity levels of the neurons ...

Neural networks have been powering breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, including the large language models that are now being used in a wide range of applications, from finance, to human ...

A brief period of exercise may do more for your brain than you expect. New research led by the University of Iowa shows that even a single workout can rapidly shift how your brain processes memory.

Scientists have developed a new machine learning method that reveals surprisingly consistent intrinsic brain patterns across different subjects by disentangling these patterns from the effect of ...

The cerebellum is a region of the brain that helps us refine our movements and learn new motor skills. Patients and mouse models experience many kinds of abnormal movements when their cerebellum is ...

New research shows stress impairs direction sense, weakening the brain’s navigation system and making it harder to stay ...
