Combining machine learning with MRI brain scans helps researchers provide a more accurate map of the brain. Read More
Researchers identified several brain areas that acted as hubs for information processing across brain networks that contribute to memory recall. They observed how activation patterns within these networks differed on an individual level, based on personal levels of recall detail and imagination. Read More
A newly developed headset capable of brain mapping may help provide new insight into developmental disorders, including autism and cerebral palsy. Read More
Researchers were able to ascertain the colors people were seeing by looking at their brain activity. The study reveals we have unique brain activity associated with specific colors. Read More
Study reveals the map of neural responses that mediate taste perception does not involve a specific, specialized group of neurons, but overlapping and spatially distributed neural populations. Read More
Working memory isn't confined to one area of the brain. It requires synchronous activity of at least two brain areas. Read More
A new human brain atlas features 250 structurally distinct areas, each based on the analysis of ten brains. Over 2400 brain sections were digitalized and assembled in 3D to create the new map. Read More
Depending on the network state, certain neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex can be more or less excitable, which shapes stimulus processing in the brain. Read More
