The human brain is often described as one of the most complex structures in biology, and much of its power comes from how ...

The brain has a remarkably flexible system for handling uncertainty and changing situations. Researchers found that the ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how the brain’s “information hub” responds to uncertainty, revealing a remarkably ...

Scientists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, working in collaboration with a team from the University of Texas at El Paso, have developed a novel computational framework for ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

The human brain is continuously processing enormous amounts of information. Even something as familiar as driving requires several mental tasks at ...

Researchers have developed a computer model of the human cortex that links its microscopic chemistry to its brain-wide patterns of activity, providing new evidence that regional differences in ...

How do we decide what to do when faced with choices? And how does the brain adapt those decisions as the world around us changes? A new study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of ...
