Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion but rather progresses through five distinct phases separated by specific ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Your brain is wrinkled like a walnut, and those wrinkles aren't just for show. Each fold increases the amount of surface area ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

Scientists have found that the human brain understands spoken language in a surprisingly similar way to advanced AI systems.

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational har ...

A neuroscientist survey shows that 40 percent think it might be possible to preserve a human brain, potentially well enough ...
