The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

What makes the human brain different from that of other primates has long been a question. A new study suggests that the answer may be in a surprising twist of evolutionary fate: one of the brain’s ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a hazardous waste collector in the brain that disposes of the toxic clumps of ...

It's been estimated that the human brain contains roughly 100 billion neurons, together completing countless tasks through countless connections. So how do we make sense of the roles each of these ...
