Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small brains. Changes in actin disrupted the orientation of early brain cell ...

Researchers have come up with a clever new way of freezing brain cells just as they fire out a signal, meaning processes that ...

STANFORD, Calif. -- For decades researchers have been peering into the human brain, trying to unlock the secrets of conditions ranging from autism to epilepsy to mental illness. But now, instead of ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking ...

In 2022, the Australian company Cortical Labs made headlines by successfully getting artificial neurons to play the classic ...

Researchers are turning human brain cells into tiny biocomputers. Here’s what the tech can actually do, what’s hype, and the ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

The brain is shielded from many substances by the blood-brain barrier, but this shield is not impenetrable. There are immune cells in the brain called microglia that can respond to potential invaders ...

An international research team involving the German Primate Center—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research (DPZ), Hannover ...

A significant, long-term reduction in calorie consumption resulted in a slowing of aging in the brain, according to a study ...
