The brain’s sensory cortex uses a Voronoi diagram to organize touch signals — the same math cities use to design water networks
When a mouse sweeps a single whisker across a textured surface, a tight cluster of neurons in its brain lights up within milliseconds. That cluster sits inside a grid of cortical columns, each one ...
The somatosensory cortex is a brain region known to play a role in the detection of tactile information, changes in temperature, and pain sensations. Some recent studies found that this crucial brain ...
Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...
Scientists have discovered that the brain’s sensory systems play a much larger role in speech learning than previously believed.
A research team says it has shown for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals’ cortex and responded to external sensory ...

A new imaging tool just caught the brain waves that stitch inner thought and outside awareness together — the closest direct look yet at where consciousness lives
In May 2026, a team at Caltech did something no lab had done before: they pressed an ultrasound probe against a transparent ...
