When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers found eight body-like maps in the visual cortex that organize what we see ...

Most neuroscience research still runs on mice, even though much of what applies to mice does not hold up in humans. Marmosets have emerged as a bridge between species. However, comparing the brains of ...

Wiring diagram of an adult male fruit fly's central nervous system Philip Hubbard / HHMI Janelia Research Campus Researchers have mapped an adult male fruit fly’s brain and nerve cord—the equivalent ...

With a brain the size of a sesame seed, the lowly fruit fly is often considered a kitchen pest. But to neuroscientists, the flies are a treasure trove of information detailing how the brain’s ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have found that the brain holds a ‘map’ of the body that remains unchanged even after a limb has been amputated, contrary to the prevailing view that it ...
