Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Humans have the remarkable ability to remember the same person or object in completely different situations. We can easily ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators worked with a multi-institutional team to develop a new artificial intelligence framework that can accurately, quickly and efficiently create virtual models of brain neurons ...

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

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

Nothing teaches us how the brain works like neurosurgery, maintains Theodore Schwartz, MD, of Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. "We tend to think about neuroscientists, neurologists, and ...
