(CNN) — Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during ...

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, ...

New insight into decision-making pathways in the brain may impact the way engineers think about artificial intelligence, according to new research from The Grainger College of Engineering at the ...

Our brain is remarkably flexible in producing different reactions to supposedly comparable situations. The same sensory information can lead to different decisions depending on the behavioral context.

Mice turning tiny steering wheels to move shapes on a screen have helped scientists produce the first brain-wide map of decision-making at single-cell resolution in a mammal. For decades, most ...

Mobile games have become one of the most popular forms of entertainment on the planet, and it's not difficult to see why. They're convenient, easy to access, and designed to provide instant ...

Every day, our brain makes thousands of decisions, big and small. Any of these decisions—from the least consequential, such as picking a restaurant, to the more important, such as pursuing a different ...

Our brain makes decisions based on direct associations between stimuli in our environment, but it often also does so based on events that initially appear unrelated. How does it achieve this? A recent ...

Researchers examining postmortem human brains have found that the prefrontal cortex, the region responsible for planning, impulse control, and weighing consequences, continues to prune and refine its ...
