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 ...

New research suggests intelligence arises not from a single brain region, but from how networks across the brain work together as an integrated system. Neuroscientists often describe the brain as a ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

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 ...

That sharp flinch during a violent movie scene is familiar to many people. A hand slams, a body falls, and your own muscles ...

Shutting down the enzyme PTP1B helps brain immune cells clear plaques again, pointing to a potential new Alzheimer’s ...

Chronic alcohol consumption profoundly alters gene expression in key brain regions involved in reward, impulse control, and ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Researchers found that a good night’s sleep may help the brain clear proteins tied to Alzheimer’s.

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

CorTec today announced the second successful implantation of its Brain Interchange brain-computer interface (BCI) system. The procedure took place in an FDA-approved clinical trial involving stroke ...
