New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially ...

How do the circuits of the human brain work—and what happens when they are disrupted? To investigate these questions, researchers at the Eye Clinic of the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the ...

In a 2022 study, scientists transplanted a cluster of human neurons into developing rat brains and discovered that these cells integrated and matured alongside rat neurons. 1 The researchers could ...

Previously met with skepticism, AI won scientists a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2024 after they used it to solve the protein folding and design problem, and it has now been adopted by biologists ...

Encoding individual behavioral traits into a low-dimensional latent representation enables the accurate prediction of ...

For the first time, a lab-grown brain-computer system has demonstrated that human neurons living and evolving in an artificial system respond to medication by learning, in real time, in a game-like ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Brain-imaging data collected from fetuses and infants has revealed a rapid surge in functional connectivity between brain regions on a global scale at birth, possibly reflecting neural processes that ...
