          Brain Cells That Predict What Comes Next, Even When It’s New

          A new study reveals that the brain uses special neurons to track where we are in a sequence of actions—not just where we are in space. In mice, researchers found “goal-progress cells” that fire based on how far along the animal is in a behavioral task, enabling them to infer what comes next even in novel scenarios.

          How the Brain Detects Novelty to Predict the Future

          A new study shows that the cerebral cortex acts as a "memory machine," constantly detecting novel stimuli to refine its predictions of the future. By imaging the auditory cortex of mice, researchers found that neurons track sensory inputs over time, forming "echoes" that help distinguish new information.

          Mastering Motion: How Our Brains Predict to Perfect the Catch

          Researchers shed new light on our brain's ability to predict movement, aiding in seemingly simple tasks like grabbing a moving object. The study found an intricate coordination between vision and motor skills, suggesting that the brain can anticipate movement even with an 80-millisecond delay in response time.
