USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

Summary: Scientists have built one of the most comprehensive single-cell maps of the developing human brain. The new BrainSTEM framework analyzed nearly 680,000 fetal brain cells to chart their growth ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive ...

A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back.

The progression of Alzheimer's disease is poorly understood, but new research may have found how the plaques that cause it ...

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy requirements were presumed to be supplied by sugar alone, in contrast to muscle or ...

Using an ultra-high-resolution imaging technology called 7 Tesla functional MRI (fMRI) on human participants, researchers ...

Learning to code doesn’t require new brain systems—it builds on the ones we already use for logic and reasoning.
