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

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

Neuroscientists have observed for the first time how structures deep in the brain are activated when the brain becomes aware of its own thoughts, known as conscious perception. The brain is constantly ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

New ultra–high-field brain scans reveal hidden body maps inside the visual system, showing how the brain weaves sight and touch together to build a unified sense of perception. Study: Vicarious body ...

The hippocampus is one of the most fascinating brain regions. Associated with the formation of memories, it also helps us to navigate through the world without getting lost. Sensory cortices on the ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers at Georgia Tech has discovered how lateral inhibition helps our brains process visual ...

MIT scientists have developed a new 3D human brain tissue model that could change how researchers study neurological diseases. The platform, called Multicellular Integrated Brains or miBrains, ...

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...
