Researchers have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus -- a region responsible for learning and memory. Our brains build maps of the environment ...

Neuroscientists know a lot about the activity of neurons that make up these maps—like which cells fire when we're in a particular location. But how the brain creates these maps as we learn ...

The hit show Severance can be refashioned as a teaching moment about certain brain disorders. But its famed “Innie” versus “Outie” conceit is totally bogus Margarethe Hilferding was the ...

Our brains have an extraordinary ability to adapt and learn, a process known as neuroplasticity. From navigating a new city to mastering a new skill, neuroplasticity allows us to reshape our ...

while patients with tumors underwent awake brain surgery and mapping. Then, patients either read words aloud from a monitor or were silent (at rest) while investigators recorded their brain ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen ...

is a major advance in neuronal recording and may help bring scientists a step closer to drawing a detailed synaptic connection map of the brain. Higher-order brain functions are believed to be ...

Researchers have created a remarkable new map of a key part of our brain, the hypothalamus, that will lead to new ways of controlling our weight, appetite, sleep and stress levels. Health and wellness ...
