Scientists have discovered that the brain’s sensory systems play a much larger role in speech learning than previously believed.
When a mouse sweeps a single whisker across a textured surface, a tight cluster of neurons in its brain lights up within ...
Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...
In May 2026, a team at Caltech did something no lab had done before: they pressed an ultrasound probe against a transparent ...
National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped how individual neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex receive brain-wide presynaptic inputs that encode behavioral states, refining our ...
The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...
A team of researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University (UMH) in Elche, has discovered that the ...
A research team says it has shown for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals’ cortex and responded to external sensory ...
