Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, ...

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

Gut Microbes may have helped fuel the evolution of large human brains, shaping brain metabolism and gene activity, new ...

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

A new study showcases how brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between ourselves and the outside world ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying ...

Scientists long have warned we’ll eventually reach the physical limits of what silicon chips can do. Beyond the energy required to power an ascendant artificial intelligence industry and endless ...

A new study reveals that alpha brain waves help the brain decide what belongs to your body. Faster rhythms allow the brain to match sight and touch more precisely, strengthening the feeling that a ...

What if the key to sharper memory, better concentration, even a lower risk of dementia, lay as close as getting your body up and moving? Science suggests it might. A landmark study published in the ...

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique that brings machine vision closer to how the human brain processes images. Called Lp-Convolution, this method improves the ...

VEVEY: Inside a lab in the picturesque Swiss town of Vevey, a scientist gives tiny clumps of human brain cells the nutrient-rich fluid they need to stay alive. It is vital these mini-brains remain ...
