Do we really only use 10% of our brains? Although many people believe it, there is absolutely no scientific evidence backing this claim. So why is neuroscience often prone to misinterpretation?
A recent study has unlocked the code that allows the brain, using a surprisingly small number of neurons, to recognize any face. The discovery opens new perspectives for research, and could lead to...
However mysterious and uncontrollable, dreaming is a brain activity like any other, and one that researchers can look into. Interview with neurologist and sleep specialist Isabelle Arnulf.
We are increasingly relying on digital devices to record information in our place. While such use of digital technologies might free up our brain to focus on other tasks, is there not a long-term...
Recent advances in neuroscience reveal that exposure to music has a positive effect on memory. And this is particularly the case in people with Alzheimer’s disease.
By making it possible to "surgically" act on DNA, the CRISPR-Cas9 system is not only revolutionizing genome editing techniques, it is paving the way for new and exciting ways to study the...
