Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

We build AI systems to mimic the human brain: writing emails, answering questions and predicting what comes next. But new research aims to turn that relationship around—using large language models ...

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

Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and specialized. Spend enough time scrolling through TikTok or Instagram and you will ...

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

New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially signaling a breakdown in the neural networks that support conscious awareness. By ...

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

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept in medicine. It reads scans, predicts risk, flags patterns, and ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

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

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 ...
