UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors in a setting that closely mirrors the human brain, shedding light on how ...

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

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains, both in silicon and in living tissue, that can learn, adapt, and even ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

Scientists have found that the human brain understands spoken language in a surprisingly similar way to advanced AI systems.

Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...
