Flexible control of movement timing is essential for behavior, relying on an adjustable timer in the brain. By measuring and manipulating activity in interacting brain regions, scientists could pause ...

Scientists are closing in on the brain’s internal circuitry for hunger, revealing a surprisingly precise “off switch” that can shut down cravings in real time. Instead of a single magic button, they ...

Using nano-MIND technology, higher-order brain functions such as emotions, sociability, and survival instincts in animals can be freely regulated through selective control of specific neurons and ...

For Martin Schrimpf, the promise of artificial intelligence is not in the tasks it can accomplish. It’s in what AI might reveal about human intelligence. He is working to build a “digital twin” of the ...

A new doctoral dissertation shows that gambling disorder is linked to brain networks involved in self-control and brain reward functions. By combining several brain imaging methods, the research ...

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...
