Researchers discovered two brain regions that work as a “neural compass," keeping people oriented in virtual city navigation

Map-making neurons change even when familiar settings remain exactly the same

Two areas of the brain may work in combination to tell the brain when it’s “feeling” tired and either quits or continues exerting mental effort.

New study suggests that the magic of live performance art may be reflected in our brains.

Your brain has a hidden beat — here's how smarter minds sync to it.

Your brain doesn’t just hear a steady rhythm or musical tone—it reorganizes itself in real time. Here’s why that matters.

Scientists found that dopamine-producing neurons forecast not only reward, but its timing—some fire for immediate rewards, others for future ones

Researchers challenge a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites — not a shared site — to achieve different types of plasticity. 

Scientists have long sought to understand how the brain retrieves words during speech. Now researchers at New York University shed light on this mystery.

Researchers use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to record brain activity while solving visual brain teasers. The results were surprising!

Research shows that the brain learns to filter out distracting stimuli over time.

Researchers use brain activity to determine why mice make mistakes.
