For the first time, researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and Amsterdam UMC have identified what happens in neural networks deep within the brain during obsessive thoughts and ...

In the decades following the work by physiologist Ivan Pavlov and his famous salivating dogs, scientists have discovered how molecules and cells in the brain learn to associate two stimuli, like ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

Researchers identified two brain networks involved in word retrieval -- the cognitive process of accessing words we need to speak. A semantic network processes meaning in middle/inferior frontal gyri, ...

Neural and computational evidence reveals that real-world size is a temporally late, semantically grounded, and hierarchically stable dimension of object representation in both human brains and ...

Our brain is an energy-efficient marvel, with 86 billion neurons and trillions of connections running on just 20 watts—the energy of a single lightbulb. Swiss innovators at Final Spark are ...
