The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...

Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

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 ...

A neuroscientist survey shows that 40 percent think it might be possible to preserve a human brain, potentially well enough ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational har ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...
