The black box of the human brain is starting to open. Although animal models are instrumental in shaping our understanding of the mammalian brain, scarce human data is uncovering important ...

Direct and simultaneous recordings across the human brain during a memory encoding task involving emotionally valenced words revealed tightly clustered neuronal sites within the insular cortex with ...

A recent study published in the journal Nature suggests that the biological transition to motherhood creates lifelong ...

A research team has identified, for the first time in humans, and in a realistic environment, a key neurophysiological mechanism in memory formation: ripple-type brain waves—high-frequency electrical ...

We focus on interactions between the human insula and the hippocampus as individuals encode emotionally laden words. Our rationale for targeting insular–hippocampal interactions during encoding of ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute have developed a new class of programmable nanofluidic memristors that mimic the memory functions of the human brain, paving ...

A new study suggests that people are more likely to consciously notice neutral spoken words than negative ones when ...

Inspired by the human brain, researchers have developed a new light-sensitive device that combines sensing and memory while ...

The unconscious brain appears to be far more capable than scientists once believed. Researchers found that patients under general anesthesia could still process language at a sophisticated level, ...

As a neuroscientist, I am not afraid of AI. Source: Randa Marzouk/Unsplash In fact, I would love to see it improve faster. One major obstacle to a significant leap is that AI is developed by engineers ...

Researchers analysed five years of data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative and found a more rapid decline ...
