For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

Recent research challenges the popular idea that general intelligence relies on the brain’s overall efficiency or “small-world” architecture. A new study demonstrates that broad, whole-brain measures ...

People can think, behave and function very differently. These observed differences are known to be the result of complex interactions between genetics, neurobiological processes and life experiences.

We see not just with our eyes, but with our brains. A mosaic of specialized areas in a brain region known as the visual cortex interprets different sights, helping us identify everything from solid ...
