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

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

They created a library of the different electrical signatures for each type of neuron, which then allowed them to train an AI algorithm that can automatically recognise five different types of neurons ...

The Signature Courses at the University of Texas at Austin are a form of required course for all undergraduate students on a variety of topics, giving first-year students an opportunity to closely ...

Gamma brain waves are rhythmic electric processes in nerve cells called neurons. Nerve activity in the brain allows for communication throughout the brain to carry out functions such as memory, ...

The science behind our brains is, unsurprisingly, complex. There are approximately 86 billion neurons in the human brain, which form 100 trillion connections to each other – a number so big it can be ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Love might feel like it comes from the heart, but scientists have figured out where love lives inside the brain. Researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain activity ...
