Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date. Allen Institute researchers were part of this.

This image provided by the Allen Institute on April 8, 2025, shows a digital representation of neurons in a section of a mouse's brain, part of a project to create the largest map to date of brain ...

It’s a diagram of 84,000 neurons as they fired messages in a piece of the mouse’s brain about the size of a poppy seed.

The parts of the brain needed to remember words have been identified. Those areas are affected by a common form of epilepsy, say scientists. A team of neurologists and neurosurgeons at University ...

Elon Musk said a third person has received an implant from his brain-computer interface company Neuralink, one of many groups working to connect the nervous system to machines.

The temporal lobe—a key area of our brain responsible for our memory and communication—could also reveal hidden clues about how human brains have evolved over time, according to a new study ...

Explore brain anatomy, from the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem, to the deep structures within the brain, such as the limbic system and basal ganglia.

Memory Formation The hippocampus, located in the brain’s temporal lobe, is responsible for memory formation and learning processes, crucial for cognition.
