A new study showcases how brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between ourselves and the outside world ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion ...

Neuroscientists have observed for the first time how structures deep in the brain are activated when the brain becomes aware of its own thoughts, known as conscious perception. The brain is constantly ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

A recent study by the Laboratory for Neuro-Analysis and Imaging (LANAI) at UMass Chan Medical School highlights how ...
