Chatbots can facilitate ‘cognitive offloading,’ or taking shortcuts when learning. But emerging research on AI and cognitive ...

How the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing has been discovered. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have made a significant ...

Navigating a busy street, a new city, or even your own home requires more than just memory of landmarks. Deep inside your ...

Imagine a swarm of fireflies, flickering lights on and off in the nighttime space. How does the human brain process and integrate information about duration and spatial position enabling this vision?

Scientists at the University of Amsterdam discovered that our brains automatically understand how we can move through different environments—whether it's swimming in a lake or walking a path—without ...

A study offers a glimpse of how the brain turns experience into emotion. In mice and humans, puffs of air to the eye caused persistent changes in brain activity, suggesting an emotional response. Get ...

Elon Musk wants to merge humans with AI. And his goal of achieving "symbiosis" with artificial intelligence starts with a brain chip. Neuralink, a company Musk co-founded, is testing linking brains to ...

In fact, the human cortex carries more than double the number of interneurons as the mouse cortex does ... built on previous work from other research groups to develop their organoids, which resembled ...

Early on, Nedergaard and Iliff, a glial cell biologist and a vascular physiologist, respectively, hypothesized that waste ...

Understanding a simple-looking sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some sophisticated conceptual computation: a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object ( ...
