Twelve laboratories around the world have joined forces to map neuronal activity in a mouse’s brain as it makes decisions.

The new reasoning AI, called a hierarchical reasoning model (HRM), is inspired by the hierarchical and multi-timescale processing in the human brain — the way different brain regions integrate ...

It was February 2024 when Noland Arbaugh, the first person to get Elon Musk’s experimental brain chip, rolled across the stage in a wheelchair during a Neuralink “all hands” meeting, revealing his ...

The emergence of human brain organoids (hBOs) has transformed how we study brain development, disease mechanisms, and therapy discovery. These 3D in vitro neural models closely mimic the cellular ...

Longer thumbs mean bigger brains, scientists have found—revealing how human hands and minds evolved together. Researchers studied 94 different primate species, including fossils and living animals, to ...

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show ...

Even years after a person has lost an arm, the brain faithfully maintains the circuits that once controlled the missing limb. When someone loses an arm, they can see it's gone, but a new study finds ...

A study of human brain organoids has revealed a new potential target for Alzheimer’s disease treatments 1. As an alternative to working with postmortem brain tissue or mouse models, Peng-Ming Zeng at ...

Our brain may not be as capable of rewiring following an amputation as we thought, which could have serious implications for how we treat a common complication called phantom limb pain. A part of the ...
