Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

A new study showcases how brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between ourselves and the outside world ...

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

Scientists have confirmed that spaceflight forces the brain to shift and stretch, a discovery that could change how we ...

Compared to other animal species, humans can plan and execute highly sophisticated motor tasks, including the ability to write complex characters using their hands. While many past studies have tried ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Perhaps our most defining characteristic as a species, the six-layered human cortex, hosts billions of neural connections that bestow Homo sapiens with higher-order thinking. But how does this ...

Human brains still react to chimp voices, hinting at a deep evolutionary link in how we recognize sound.

The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying ...
