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

Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly's visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

When you try to solve a math problem in your head or remember the things on your grocery list, you’re engaging in a complex neural balancing act — a process that, according to a new study by Brown ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...

The Cleveland Clinic is partnering with San Francisco–based startup Piramidal to develop a large-scale AI model that will be used to monitor patients’ brain health in intensive care units. Instead of ...

A new open-source model of brain metabolism, developed by scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), has shown how altering key chemicals could restore aged cells to their youthful ...

The human brain is constantly adapting. Every skill learned and every habit formed reshapes neural pathways, strengthening connections and improving efficiency. This process, known as neuroplasticity, ...

Language enables people to transmit thoughts to each other because each person’s brain responds similarly to the meaning of words. In newly published research, my colleagues and I developed a ...
