Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

A new study suggests that the brain processes information with high efficiency by synchronizing the physical wiring of neural ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

Organoids have revolutionized science and medicine, providing platforms for disease modeling, drug testing, and understanding developmental processes. While not exact replicas of human organs, they ...

Recently, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang, whose company builds the chips powering today’s most advanced artificial intelligence systems, remarked: “The thing that’s really, really quite amazing is the ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

In 1906, biologists Camillo Golgi and Santiago Ramón y Cajal shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries that illuminated the physical structures of the human brain. Working ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...
