Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most detailed biophysically realistic brain simulations of an animal ever. This ...

Biophysically detailed simulation of the whole mouse cortex neuron by neuron, with sub-cellular resolution—that is, capturing ion flows and fluctuations of membrane voltage within many compartments ...

The sound of a fire alarm tells us to get out quickly to not get hurt, while the sight of a gas station sign can signal a ...

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...

A new brain device from Northwestern University is asking a daring question: what if information could reach your brain ...

This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

Attention can feel like a fragile thing, especially when your brain struggles to sort signal from noise. Every second, your ...

High-fat diets are linked to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other health problems. High-fat diets can also ...

Attention depends on the brain’s ability to filter out distractions, but new research suggests this works best when ...

Although scientists now know a lot more about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than they did in recent years, ...
