Researchers developed a multilayer MEG framework that estimates activity across cortical depth non-invasively. Simulations and three human datasets show when reliable laminar inference is possible, en...

We are pleased to welcome you to the 2026 ICHR and ECHR Satellite Meeting, hosted by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Klinikum rechts der Isar, in Munich, Germany, from 19–21 October 2026. Pl...

Background Ephaptic coupling is a relatively underexplored mechanism of neuronal interaction mediated by perturbations of the extracellular electric potential without the formation of conventional che...

Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 15 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02502-8Boger and Firestone show that humans possess a domain-general, cross-modal representation of complexity.

Neuropsychopharmacology - Selective dysregulation of serotonin dynamics in the anterior cingulate cortex and central amygdala following binge alcohol consumption

Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 26 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02540-2Harootonian et al. find that people switch between effortful, tailored teaching and easier, simple shortcuts, favouring shortcuts even when unhelpful. Prompting participants to reflect on learners’ limitations restores effective, personalized instruction.

An updated view of categorization reflects the modern understanding that the nervous system is more of a prediction engine than a filing cabinet.

USAID funding has significantly contributed to the reduction in adult and child mortality across low-income and middle-income countries over the past two decades. Our estimates show that, unless the a...

Difficult decisions require gathering evidence over extended periods, placing demands on working memory. Yet, how working memory limitations affect decision-making remains largely unknown. We trained ...

The recoverability, reliability, and generalizability of reward processing parameters and relation to mental health symptoms - Volume 56

Neurons in the brain are often many synapses away from motoneurons, yet if a movement results in error, each distant neuron needs a teacher that considers its specific contribution to production of th...

To make flexible decisions, the brain needs to make inferences between events that were not directly experienced together. In sharp-wave ripple (SWR) events, during periods of rest and sleep, spiking ...

While the brain processes information at various speeds, little is known about how the functional connectome can concurrently support multiple spee...

This review integrates computational approaches to provide a unified view on how data analysis methods, biophysical mechanistic models and machine learning approaches can help to uncover the origins a...

The brain’s higher cognitive functions rely on the dynamic integration of multimodal information, supported by coordinated neural oscillations. However, current neuromodulation approaches often fail t...

Human hippocampal ripples and replay interact with the prefrontal cortex to update mental representations online, letting the brain compositionally combine familiar elements in new ways for flexible p...

Mental imagery provides a unique window into the brain’s ability to internally simulate sensory experiences, offering valuable insights for both cognitive neuroscience and brain-computer interface (BC...

High-fidelity geometry for physical-world modeling demands real-time, dense, and differentiable deformation fields on manifolds. Neural dynamical systems (NDSs) using adaptive stepsize integration wit...

Behavioural experiments to study decision-making in response to context-dependent accumulation of evidence provide testable models that are consistent with the heterogeneity in neural signatures among...

In a mouse model of Huntington’s disease, targeted modulation of neuronal activity restores network function and improves motor deficits.

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from more than 700 people, MIT researchers identified 17 brain regions outside of the canonical language-processing centers that are also involv...

Cortical sensory prostheses aim to restore vision and touch by stimulating primary visual and somatosensory cortices. This Review examines shared challenges and principles underlying visual and somato...

Although research on psychedelics (hallucinogenic serotonin 2 A or 5-HT2A agonists) has shown initial promise in ameliorating a range of psychiatric c…
