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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists have revealed how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice. The research shows that decision-making is a global process across the brain ...

To better understand decision-making, researchers can create computational models—groups of equations that aim to predict what decisions people would make when faced with a set of choices. For example ...

FINDLAY, OH - January 08, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - Dr. Andrea Adams-Miller, an applied neuroscientist and CEO of The RED ...

How do you make a choice that will benefit the greatest number of people when there are conflicting preferences involved? How does the brain make sense of differing perspectives and organize them to ...

Every decision begins invisibly. Long before someone acts, the brain is already hard at work gathering evidence, weighing options, and gradually committing to a choice. But even when faced with the ...

That got me thinking about the process of decision-making and the paralysis of analysis that can come when you have too much information and time to overthink. In a fireside chat, one of Fast ...

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, ...

When it comes to decision-making, your brain is both your best friend and your worst enemy. It’s constantly processing information, often leading you to conclusions that seem logical on the surface ...

A long-term study shows how screen time in babies may alter brain development and increase vulnerability to anxiety years ...
