A new way of mapping activity and connections between different regions of the brain has revealed fresh insights into how higher order functions like language, thought and attention, are organized.

Two projects — one that maps the function of the brain’s neuronal network in unprecedented detail and another that combines robotics and light-based computer circuits to create safe self-driving ...

Scientists map networks regulating gene function in the human brain Research details the brain's cellular and molecular regulatory elements and their impact on brain function Date: May 23, 2024 ...

The resulting map illustrates the staggering complexity of the brain. Despite its diminutive size, it contained more than 200,000 cells with 4 kilometres of branches between them, and 523 million ...

According to Keith Hengen and Woodrow Shew, criticality—a state shaped by evolution, growth, and restorative sleep—marks the peak of the brain's computational power. Credit: Neuron (2025). DOI ...
