Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

Using a diamond as a quantum simulator, scientists created a rondeau time crystal, which exhibited both long-range temporal ...

MIT scientists found that what we see is strongly influenced by how alert or active we are. Parts of the brain responsible for planning and control send specialized signals that either boost or quiet ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

Bumblebees can process the duration of flashes of light and use the information to decide where to look for food, a new study has found. This is the first evidence of such an ability in insects, ...

At the ongoing VSLive! developer conference in San Diego, Microsoft today announced Visual Studio 2026 Insiders, a new release of its flagship IDE that pairs deep AI integration with stronger ...

A critical function performed by visual systems is the fast and reliable detection of features within the environment, such as moving objects or approaching threats. Neurons predicted to encode these ...

In the first months of his administration, President Donald Trump repeatedly threatened due process, a fundamental principle enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. His attacks have spanned from the ...

For centuries, the leader of the Catholic Church has been chosen in a highly secretive gathering known as the “conclave,” meaning “with key” in Latin – a nod to how cardinals used to be locked in ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...
