We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

The race to understand the brain has just crossed a new threshold, with a supercomputer-driven model that behaves less like a ...

The human mind is turning out to be far stranger and more intricate than the tidy diagrams in old biology textbooks ever ...

A new brain implant stands to transform human-computer interaction and expand treatment possibilities for neurological ...

Consciousness should not be deemed as an ‘all-or-nothing’ cognitive function but rather as a graded and multi-dimensional ...

As we age, the human brain rewires itself. The process happens in distinct phases, or “epochs,” according to new research, as the structure of our neural networks changes and our brains reconfigure ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...

The human brain experiences five distinct eras as we age, and each is defined by changes in our neural architecture that influence how we process information, new research shows. The brain changes ...

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...
