In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

A team led by Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside miniature, lab-grown ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the artificial intelligence revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

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 ...

Newborn finger proportions may reflect early hormone exposure and could be linked to differences in early brain growth.

For some neuroscientists, the question of when the brain "stops" developing is headache-inducing. "It was kind of this unfathomable question," Duncan Astle, a researcher at the University of Cambridge ...
