Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

Trent Loos explores energy use, economic impact and research comparing the human brain to modern supercomputers.

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Shutting down the enzyme PTP1B helps brain immune cells clear plaques again, pointing to a potential new Alzheimer’s ...

Research teams have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human brain and spinal cord with exceptional accuracy. These delivery systems are ...

CorTec today announced the second successful implantation of its Brain Interchange brain-computer interface (BCI) system. The procedure took place in an FDA-approved clinical trial involving stroke ...

The breakthrough builds on neuromorphic engineering, a field that designs hardware modeled after the human brain. Unlike traditional processors, which separate memory and computation, neuromorphic ...

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery? It depends, of course, on whether you're making a hearty winter stew or ...

That sharp flinch during a violent movie scene is familiar to many people. A hand slams, a body falls, and your own muscles ...
