In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

Let a mouse nose around a house, and it will rapidly find food and form a strategy to return to it without getting caught. Given the same task, an AI would require millions of training examples and ...

A series of recent brain-imaging studies has begun to explain a central mystery of the psychedelic experience: why people on psilocybin report that memories seem to blend with what they are actually ...

The fourth principle of the Feldenkrais Method, “Differentiation: the smallest sensory distinctions between movements build maps,” is a central tenet in understanding how movement, perception, and the ...

The first complete activity map of the brain has been unveiled by a large international collaboration of neuroscientists. The International Brain Laboratory (IBL) researchers published their findings ...

Doidge (2010), referring to a study undertaken by Michael Merzenich et al. (1983), found that “[w]hen it came to allocating brain‑processing power,” the brain allocated “[its] neurological resources” ...

When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

The most consistent theme across all this research is that the regions most transformed are those involved in understanding other people: tracking intentions, feeling empathy and recognising signals ...
