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 ...

A key to understanding the brain lies in unpacking how hundreds of interconnected brain areas process information that leads to various outputs. In order to try to understand this, researchers ...

Mice moving tiny steering wheels to control shapes on a screen have given scientists an unprecedented view of how decisions unfold across the brain. For the first time, researchers have mapped ...

Visualization of 75,000 neurons (colored dots) active across the brain of an adult mouse across different stages of a decision-making task. Dot size reflects a cell’s average firing rate, such that ...

Neuroscientists have revealed how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice. The research shows that decision-making is a global process across the brain ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

That got me thinking about the process of decision-making and the paralysis of analysis that can come when you have too much information and time to overthink. In a fireside chat, one of Fast ...

The first complete activity map of the brain has been unveiled by a large international collaboration of neuroscientists. The International Brain Laboratory (IBL) researchers published their findings ...

Neuroscientists have revealed how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice. The research, conducted at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL, shows that ...

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, ...

A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.
