A new way of mapping activity and connections between different regions of the brain has revealed fresh insights into how higher order functions like language, thought and attention, are organized.

Clock genes are a set of genes known to contribute to the regulation of the human body's internal 24-hour cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm. One of these genes is the so-called CLOCK gene ...

Among the critical findings are discoveries about the unique functions of human brain cells known as neurons and glia, non-neuronal cells in the nervous system that support, protect, and nourish ...

Specifically, they focused on genes that are expressed in the brain, present in all humans, based on sequences from the 1000 Genomes Project, and conserved, meaning they did not show much ...

Higher-order connectomics of human brain function reveals local topological signatures of task decoding, individual identification, and behavior. Nature Communications, 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038 ...
