Neuroscientists are zeroing in on how special kinds of brain cells help us see things that aren't actually there.

Scientists characterized the largest sample of a neural circuit to date to improve artificial intelligence models and better ...

Twelve laboratories around the world have joined forces to map neuronal activity in a mouse’s brain as it makes decisions.

An image posted on Reddit shows grey bricks met with green lines that intersect to create a grid - but weirdly the lines ...

The hierarchical reasoning model (HRM) system is modeled on the way the human brain processes complex information, and it outperformed leading LLMs in a notoriously hard-to-beat benchmark.

The emergence of human brain organoids (hBOs) has transformed how we study brain development, disease mechanisms, and therapy discovery. These 3D in vitro neural models closely mimic the cellular ...

Longer thumbs mean bigger brains, scientists have found—revealing how human hands and minds evolved together. Researchers studied 94 different primate species, including fossils and living animals, to ...

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show ...

Even years after a person has lost an arm, the brain faithfully maintains the circuits that once controlled the missing limb. When someone loses an arm, they can see it's gone, but a new study finds ...

A study of human brain organoids has revealed a new potential target for Alzheimer’s disease treatments 1. As an alternative to working with postmortem brain tissue or mouse models, Peng-Ming Zeng at ...
