In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...

Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...

Northwestern researchers have made notable scientific advancements in the past week. The Daily compiled a recap of their latest findings. NU scientists identified additional areas of the brain ...

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve cells, ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...
