"If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, the Doom guy shoots." The post Researchers Get Human Brain Cells Running Doom ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

A new study suggests AI systems could be a lot more efficient. Researchers were able to shrink an AI vision model to 1/1000th ...

The 'silent' X chromosome within female brains may not be so silent after all. A new study has found evidence in both mice and humans that as we age, 'sleeping' X chromosomes can be 'awakened' in ...

Being right- or left-handed is a familiar fact about yourself that you likely don't think about much on a day-to-day basis. However, your handedness affects how you interact with the world.

Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...

The brain’s hidden timing code When I look at the latest work on brain dynamics, the most striking idea is that every region of the cortex seems to run on its own preferred tempo. Scientists describe ...

The comparison underscores a paradox at the heart of modern AI development: today’s neural networks are inspired by the brain ...

Scientists studying the difference between human and chimpanzee DNA have found one stretch of human DNA that can make the brains of mice grow significantly bigger. "It's likely to be one of many DNA ...

Past studies show that SuperAgers may experience slower brain atrophy, lower brain volume loss, and reduced neuroinflammation. Now a new study published in the journal Nature has found that SuperAgers ...
