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 ...

To this day, in the known universe, only one example exists of a system capable of general-purpose intelligence. That system ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the living human brain, offering unprecedented insight into the molecular ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

Humans and mice share persistent brain-activity patterns in response to adverse sensory experience, scientists find, opening a window to our emotions and, perhaps, neuropsychiatric disorders. We don't ...
