A single damaged protein inside one brain cell may seem insignificant. Yet new research shows how that small mistake can ...

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

New research shows that a deeply ancient part of the brain can process visual information on its own, without help from the cortex. Scientists found that the superior colliculus, a structure shared by ...

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...
