Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

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 ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

Organoids have revolutionized science and medicine, providing platforms for disease modeling, drug testing, and understanding developmental processes. While not exact replicas of human organs, they ...

Humans possess a remarkable balance between stability and flexibility, enabling them to quickly establish new plans and ...

In 1906, biologists Camillo Golgi and Santiago Ramón y Cajal shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries that illuminated the physical structures of the human brain. Working ...

Recently, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang, whose company builds the chips powering today’s most advanced artificial intelligence systems, remarked: “The thing that’s really, really quite amazing is the ...
