Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

How the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing has been discovered. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have made a significant ...

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion ...

A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways ...

The world has changed since 1664, when French philosopher and scientist Rene Descartes first claimed the brain was responsible for the sensation of pain. However, a key question remains: How exactly ...

Artificial intelligence systems designed to physically emulate natural brains can simulate human brain activity before being trained, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University. “The work ...

Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

Scientists at the University of Amsterdam discovered that our brains automatically understand how we can move through different environments—whether it's swimming in a lake or walking a path—without ...

A study offers a glimpse of how the brain turns experience into emotion. In mice and humans, puffs of air to the eye caused persistent changes in brain activity, suggesting an emotional response. Get ...
