Memory routinely transforms continuous experience into discrete episodes that support flexible retrieval. We propose that these structured representations are established via rapid neural reactivation...

Most widely studied option evaluation strategies rely on knowledge accumulated across repeated experiences. But how should options be evaluated in ...

In macaques, old memories, relative to new ones, are supported by more stable and interconnected cell assemblies. New-biased and old-biased assemblies reactivate during overnight sleep and can sometim...

Will democracy survive the internet? Do we need to choose between Facebook’s surveillance capitalism or democracy? Layered lines of evidence can inform questions like these. When considered together, the evidence gives rise to a concerning picture, as summarized in a recent report for the European Commission that I co-led.

Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly changing academic research, raising questions of who is adopting these tools and under what conditions. Th...

Disagreement in neuroscience runs deeper than most researchers suspect—even in electrophysiology, a field that prides itself on hard data.

Exploring why Anthropic’s AI, Claude, displays something like emotion could ultimately help us better understand the function that emotions serve in humans.

High-frequency brain oscillations in humans are currently categorized into beta (13–30 Hz) and gamma (>30 Hz). Here, I introduce a new class of oscillations between 25 and 35 Hz, which I propose to call “iota.” Iota oscillations have low amplitudes but can still be measured with surface electroencephalography (EEG). Within an individual, iota activity has a narrow spectral bandwidth typically less than 3 Hz, thus distinguishing it from broadband beta and gamma. Iota oscillations occur in sustained bursts during both wakefulness and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. They are only found in a subset of individuals, more in children than in adults. Overall, iota oscillations are challenging to detect but could serve as a marker of both brain development and states of vigilance. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Electrical brain waves are some of the only neuronal signals that can be measured noninvasively in humans. Until now, only six classes of waves have been identified. Here I introduce a new class, iota, specific to wakefulness and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. This makes iota just the second class of brain wave known to characterize REM sleep (after theta), and opens up new opportunities to investigate this elusive state.

Myelin may serve as an energy reserve for the brain, and neuroscientists are rethinking how the brain stores, shares and protects energy.

By combining magnetoencephalography and eye tracking, this study sheds light on why people fixate on some parts of natural scenes longer than others. Rather than visual complexity, fixation durations ...

This Review highlights how metabolic interactions between microglia and neurons shape brain health, and how their disruption in ageing and disease contributes to cognitive decline.

This study evaluates the quantile-aggregation method using both simulated data and publicly available Alzheimer disease randomized trial data.

Flexible prioritization in working memory (WM) is supported by neural oscillations in frontal and sensory brain areas, but the roles of different oscillations remain poorly understood. Recordings in h...

A cross-organ, multi-omics U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and biological ageing clocks highlights the potential of sleep optimization to promote healthy ageing, lower disease risk and ex...

In the hippocampus, complex processing of sensory stimuli occurs even in the unconscious state.
