As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

In 2004, science crossed a quiet line. Researchers confirmed that tiny scraps of plastic were not just drifting in oceans but entering living bodies. Two decades later, that discovery feels less like ...

Neural circuits produce electrical patterns very early in the brain's development process, even before senses are active.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell ...

A transparent chip no larger than a stick of gum is helping scientists at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute have created a better brain. It’s a human brain, but it’s very small and it’s used for research. KPBS Sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge tells us about organoids, and how ...

In a controlled study, researchers used DMT and watched adults' brain activity change as their usual "sense of self" slipped ...

A lightning-fast imaging method is exposing the hidden mechanics of brain-cell communication and offering new clues to Parkinson’s origins.

The human brain isn’t a blank slate waiting to be written by experience, according to research that challenges the ...

Ever experienced a moment of flow when working with another human to achieve a common goal, almost as if you and your ...

This article was originally featured on Undark. When the Philadelphia-based company Bioquark announced a plan in 2016 to regenerate neurons in brain-dead people, their proposal elicited skepticism and ...

This year is the centennial of the discovery of human brain waves. Few people know the story of that startling finding, because the true story was suppressed and lost to history. Almost two decades ...
