Defining consciousness: Researchers are refining definitions of consciousness, qualia, and information to better target what exactly needs explaining in the mind–brain problem. Neural clues: Studies ...

A long-term MRI study demonstrates that lower accumulation of abdominal fat (visceral fat), measured throughout the entire ...

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into ...

The analysis revealed a clear pattern. Neurons are arranged in tightly packed, overlapping horizontal stripes based on the ...

A new McGill-led study reveals that digital brain exercises can rejuvenate aging brain systems responsible for learning and memory. Older adults using BrainHQ for 10 weeks showed restored cholinergic ...

The rapid ascent of large-scale artificial intelligence has provided neuroscience with a new set of powerful tools for modeling complex cognitive functions.

A simple brain-training program that sharpens how quickly older adults process visual information may have a surprisingly powerful long-term payoff. In a major 20-year study of adults 65 and older, ...

Computational modelling, machine learning, and broader artificial (AI) intelligence approaches are now key approaches used to understanding and predicting ...

Contrary to prior work, principal axes of structural and functional connectivity are established early in life, remaining stable and undergoing refinement throughout development.
