Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

BigBrain, a 3D digital reconstruction of a human brain, provides a first-ever high resolution view of the inner workings of the human brain that could lead to better understanding of how we think, ...

Humans possess a remarkable balance between stability and flexibility, enabling them to quickly establish new plans and ...

A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

From large language models to whole brain emulation, two rival visions are shaping the next era of artificial intelligence.

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...
