Studying the minds of octogenarians with surprising cognitive resilience shows how it's possible to maintain a youthful brain well into old age.

In a recent study published in Nature, scientists found that elderly adults known as “super-agers” had about twice as many newly formed neurons in their hippocampi—the brain ...

Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one has stopped using. Previously, this phenomenon was attributed to a decline ...

A look inside the brains of extraordinarily sharp elderly people reveals clues about their unusual abilities. Deep in these ...

A new study suggests AI systems could be a lot more efficient. Researchers were able to shrink an AI vision model to 1/1000th ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

A recent study published in Nature has found that the "superagers" among us brains cognitive ability declines differently than their similarly aged peers ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

"Super-agers" seem to produce more new nerve cells in a brain region important for memory than other people their age ...

A computer platform that runs on human neurons (and recently showed off said neurons’ ability to play DOOM) now wants in on the data center boom. Australia-based Cortical Labs announced today that it ...

All animals, including humans, experience stress. Not the type where you worry about paying bills, but metabolic ...

Millions of human neurons are powering a new data centre in Melbourne – the first in the world to be powered by living brain cells. Launched on Tuesday by local startup Cortical Labs, the prototype ...
