Each circle is a neuron, only those that are significantly active are shown at each point of time and the size of the circle is scaled with the amount of activity of that neuron. See research paper in ...

Decisions run our lives. From the moment we wake up and decide to get out of bed to the moment we turn off the light and decide to sleep, we make decisions. Those who can make hard decisions are ...

Alcohol may appear to soothe nerves and smooth social edges, but beneath that relaxed buzz the brain is adjusting its wiring. Slowly, alcohol interferes with the chemical signals that allow nerve ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...
