BigBrain, a 3D digital reconstruction of a human brain, provides a first-ever high resolution view of the inner workings of the human brain that could lead to better understanding of how we think, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Every moment, the brain balances signals that unfold at different speeds. Some arrive in milliseconds, such as a sudden sound ...

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 ...

The most comprehensive model of the brain’s metabolism, incorporating more than 16,800 biochemical interactions, has identified key targets to reverse the age-related decline in brain function. The ...
