Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

Humans possess a remarkable balance between stability and flexibility, enabling them to quickly establish new plans and ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...

Mental illness is often described in abstract terms, but is rooted in the brain. A study reveals that genes influencing ...

Attention disorders such as ADHD arise when the brain struggles to separate important signals from irrelevant noise. At any ...

Prof Brennan uses a surgical drill to remove a flap of skull. The exposed brain is pink, flushed with blood, and gently ...
