Unexpected patterns traveling across the human brain may be reorganizing its activity in real time.

What happens in your brain when you read? And can it help you navigate real life? This is what science tells us.

“Cryosleep” remains the preserve of science fiction, but researchers are getting closer to restoring brain function after deep freezing

Look at different animals interacting with a strategy game called Open Doctrines

Late last week, we started seeing headlines about how new research was suggesting we might have two brains instead of the one that seems to show up on MRI scans. As is so often the case, these rumors can be traced back to a single press release put out by one of the universities where the work was done. You do not have two brains. It's a silly way to look at the results of the new paper. But there are far better ways to look at the results, ways that can help us understand how the brain gets put together and illustrate some of the general ideas behind developmental biology. So let's take a look at what the research actually shows and place it in the context of brain development. Read full article Comments
