Harvard researchers have identified two key brain networks that could play a key role in imagination and memory.... Read More...
Blueprint For Adult Visual System Present at Birth
A new study from Harvard researchers reveals that in primates, the blueprint for adult visual organization is in place a few days after birth and 'fills in' with experience. Researchers believe that, as the organization is present so early on in life, it is likely present before birth as a genetically programmed mechanism, and later modified due to experience....

Artificial Intelligence Helps Build Brain Atlas of Fly Behavior
Using machine learning, researchers have created a comprehensive brain map that links different groups of neurons to specific behaviors in fruit fly brains. The study, published in Cell, reports the AI used more than 225 days of video footage to help create the map. Left in human hands, the work would have taken an estimated 3,800 years to complete. ...
