Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...

Parts of the brain are "rewired" when people learn computer programming, according to new research. Scientists watched university students’ brains as they learned to code. The team used functional ...

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the artificial intelligence revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns ...

Is language core to thought, or a separate process? For 15 years, the neuroscientist Ev Fedorenko has gathered evidence of a language network in the human brain — and has found some similarities to ...

More than 7,000 languages are spoken around the world, but the human brain becomes highly specialized to process speech in an individual’s own language. Recordings from human brains reveal the shared ...

For more than a decade, Alexander Huth from the University of Texas at Austin had been striving to build a language decoder—a tool that could extract a person’s thoughts noninvasively from brain ...

Speaking more than one language can slow down the brain's aging and lower risks linked to accelerated aging. In a new study, researchers analyzed the Biobehavioral Age Gap (BAG) —a person's biological ...
