In the brain, our perception arises from a complex interplay of neurons that are connected via synapses. But the number and strength of connections between certain types of neurons can vary.

At the centre of this discovery is the arcuate fascicle — a bundle of nerve fibres linking language areas in the brain. In humans the AF connects to the middle temporal gyrus, this connection has now ...

In order to uncover the relationship between structure and function, researchers used microfluidic devices to study neuronal networks. Uncovering the relationship between structure (connectivity) and ...

Much attention has been devoted to how the gut influences the brain, traditionally via secreted hormones and, more recently, via the microbiome. Now, it turns out that during all that time, a direct ...

Language processing in humans depends on the neuronal connection between language areas in the brain. Until recently, this language network was thought to be uniquely human. Now, in a discovery about ...

“This is a very comprehensive study with quite a beautiful dataset,” said Stephanie Fulton, who studies the neural pathways of food-motivated behavior at the University of Montreal in Canada and was ...
