An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between ...
The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...
The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...

More than a simple relay station: Thalamus may guide timing of brain development and plasticity
The brain is known to develop gradually throughout the human lifespan, following a hierarchical pattern. First, it adapts to support basic functions, such as movement and sensory perception, then it ...
Humans and other animals gradually learn what sounds or other sensory cues in their surroundings are meaningful or potentially threatening. Via a process known as habituation, they gradually learn to ...
