The medical consequences of traumatic brain injuries are well-studied and affect millions of Americans every year. But one of the brain's complexities is less explored: how much force from a car crash ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Human memory and attention are core cognitive functions that shape perception, learning, and decision-making. And whilst decades of research have provided ...

Mice turning tiny steering wheels to move shapes on a screen have helped scientists produce the first brain-wide map of decision-making at single-cell resolution in a mammal. For decades, most ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists showed that it’s possible to reproduce an entire cerebral cortex inside one of the world’s fastest computers. The model represents the ...

Every day, your brain makes thousands of decisions under uncertainty. Most of the time, you guess right. When you don't, you learn. But when the brain's ability to judge context or assign meaning ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

New research shows AI language models mirror how the human brain builds meaning over time while listening to natural speech.

What if the future of AI wasn’t just faster, but smarter, more efficient, and inspired by the very organ that powers human thought? Enter China’s new Spiking Brain model, a innovative leap in ...
