From broad cheekbones and a flexible back to a small prefrontal cortex, here’s everything an anatomist thinks makes the ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...

Labour is often described as unforgettable, yet, as months pass, the memory of the intensity softens. Some mothers even question whether it was as painful as they once believed. Others can’t recall ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder is usually framed as a psychological wound, but a growing body of evidence suggests it can also speed up how quickly the brain itself appears to age. Instead of simply ...

We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...
