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

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

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 ...

A newly identified lymphatic drainage pathway along the middle meningeal artery reveals how the human brain clears waste. How does the brain clear away waste? This task is handled by the brain’s ...

Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the ...

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

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

It's an extremely ambitious goal. The post Scientists Preparing to Simulate Human Brain on Supercomputer appeared first on ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Neuroscientists and philosophers have debated this thought experiment for decades as they have tried to understand how the ...

Stressful study sessions help us pass exams, but curiosity promotes long-term understanding and information retention. In A ...
