Scientists have uncovered a dedicated brain circuit that distinguishes between direct fear and fear learned by observing ...

Humans have unique brain connections affecting emotions, social intelligence, and language, unlike chimpanzees or macaques.

Further experiments confirmed that this circuit relies on β-adrenergic receptors in the ... Looking ahead, the team plans to investigate whether similar pathways exist in the human brain. If so, this ...

A new study using intracranial recordings in humans reveals that the thalamus, particularly its higher-order regions, plays a central role in triggering conscious perception.

The human brain is the most advanced supercomputer in the world. It can simultaneously learn and adapt without the use of massive data centers like today's AI systems. This month, a team of engineers ...

Co-senior author Isaiah Kletenik, a neurologist in the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said reduced activity in the right frontal pole could align with the ...

Organoids have revolutionized science and medicine, providing platforms for disease modeling, drug testing, and understanding ...

Turing AI,' which operates more like the human brain. This new AI integrates certain processes instead of separating them and then migrating huge amounts of data like current systems do.

Turing AI’ could help solve artificial intelligence's sustainability crisis by consuming only a fraction of the energy ...

Frederic L.W.V.J. Schaper, MD, PhD, director of Epilepsy Network Mapping at the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics at Brigham and Women's Hospital and an instructor of neurology at Harvard Medical ...

The researchers found that many complex human behaviours such as creativity don’t map to a specific brain region but do to specific brain circuits Some people with neurologic diseases ...
