To ensure a quick halt, brain circuit architecture avoids a slow process of integration in favor of quicker differentiation, study finds.

Nerve cells regulate and routinely refresh the collection of calcium channels that enable them to send messages across circuit connections.

Studying speakers of 45 languages, neuroscientists found similar patterns of brain activation and language selectivity.

A team of cognitive scientists and doctors finds that patients with aphasia use different cognitive tools to compensate for language deficits.

A new computational model could explain differences in recognizing facial emotions.

Targeting these circuits could offer a new way to reverse motor dysfunction and depression in Parkinson’s patients.

Two types of tau proteins mix together in a nearly random way to generate the tangles seen in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.
