The brain constantly toggles between focusing on external sensory information and internal mental representations like ...

New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

Discover how neuromorphic computing mimics the brain to deliver ultra-efficient, adaptive AI for edge devices, robotics, ...

The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...

A new study suggests that the cables connecting neurons act like independent "mini-computers" to store different types of information.

As you experience or encounter new things, your brain must encode this information via the right neural networks at the right time.

New evidence indicates that the brain’s characteristic rhythmic patterns play a crucial role in information processing.

Individual cells in the brain light up for specific ideas. These concept neurons, once known as “Jennifer Aniston cells,” help us think, imagine and remember episodes from our lives.

In a new study published Oct. 22 in the journal Neuron, Yale researchers show that this clutter alters how information flows in the brain, as does the precise location of that clutter within the wider ...

A new study now published in Science reveals that the memory for a specific experience is stored in multiple parallel "copies." These are preserved for varying durations, modified to certain ...

Specifically, they found that the brain is able to “flicker” between time-compressed representations from two or more distinct experiences within the same sleep preplay and replay events, a feature ...
