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 ...

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 ...

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. Subscribe to our ...

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 ...

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, ...

What’s the big idea? Every moment is filled with how we’ve decided to spend our time, and that time defines us. We make value judgements (often automatically) of our options and follow similar ...

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 ...

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 ...
