Imagine your brain as a high-end restaurant. Normally, the kitchen is remarkably efficient: fresh ingredients (proteins) ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Synaptic vesicles act as the brain’s chemical couriers, transporting neurotransmitters between cells. When a nerve impulse arrives, these vesicles fuse with the neuron’s membrane and release their ...

Thinking, learning, feeling—all sensory perceptions are processed in the brain. Roughly 100 billion nerve cells are interconnected in the human brain. The lightning-fast communication between these ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

It's an extremely ambitious goal. The post Scientists Preparing to Simulate Human Brain on Supercomputer appeared first on ...

Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...

Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...

Every second, machines like drones, smartphones, and self-driving cars capture floods of visual data. But turning this data into meaning—like recognizing a red light or reading a sign—takes massive ...

The innovative organic materials proposed by Dr. Eunho Lee and his team bring us closer to brain-like computer processors Dr. Lee explains: “Our research shows a simple way to make the next wave of AI ...
