Artificial intelligence systems that are designed with a biologically inspired architecture can simulate human brain activity before ever being trained on any data, according to new research from ...

A high-speed “zap-and-freeze” method is giving scientists their clearest view yet of how brain cells send messages. By freezing tissue at the instant a signal fires, researchers revealed how synaptic ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...

Researchers have shown for the first time that malfunctioning mitochondria — the cell’s energy generators — may directly ...

A new study from UNC School of Medicine researchers, published this week in Neuron, reveals a unique look at how junk food rewires the brain's memory hub—leading to risk of cognitive dysfunction. This ...

A scientific team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a new, ultra-high-resolution brain imaging system that can reconstruct microscopic brain structures that ...

1. Brain connectivity may be the key to understanding the left-handed brain. For many decades, scientists have tried to find out which brain areas differ between left-handers and right-handers, with ...

July 22 marks the 12th annual World Brain Day, a global campaign led by the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) to promote brain health across all stages of life. This year’s theme, “Brain Health for ...

Researchers reveals how walking on two legs and expanding brain size drove the evolution of human right-handedness.
