The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

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 ...

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

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

Across a typical lifetime, the human brain does not simply grow, peak, and decline. It passes through five sweeping ...

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

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

The human brain continues to surprise scientists. From how it learns to the fact that our brains glow, there's a lot we have yet to learn about the inner workings of the human brain. One especially ...
