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

A new study suggests that the brain processes information with high efficiency by synchronizing the physical wiring of neural ...

Self-harming and self-sabotaging behaviors, from skin picking to ghosting people, all stem from evolutionary survival mechanisms, according to a compelling new psychological analysis.

MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

Bursts of brain rhythms with 'beta' frequencies control where and when neurons in the cortex process sensory information and plan responses. Studying these bursts would improve understanding of ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information.

In a new paper with implications for preventing Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders, Keith Hengen, an associate professor of biology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St.

Neuroscience shows traditional teaching is not enough. Instead, an experiential approach can return learning to its natural ...
