Every day, hundreds of thousands of people undergo general anesthesia, trusting they'll drift into unconsciousness and wake safely after surgery. Yet despite decades of use, scientists still don't ...

Researchers have developed a computer model of the human cortex that links its microscopic chemistry to its brain-wide patterns of activity, providing new evidence that regional differences in ...

For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine reveals that what we call the brain is two distinct organs that evolved ...

New research suggests that the human brain starts as two separate developmental systems. These findings reframe long-held ...

Two ordinary feedback loops kept a simple model of the visual cortex from turning chaotic, cutting the swings in its activity ...

When studying anatomy, students often use models, which recreate the structure of an organ or other part of the body in a form that is easy to study. Although donor bodies are generally considered the ...

Organoids have revolutionized science and medicine, providing platforms for disease modeling, drug testing, and understanding developmental processes. While not exact replicas of human organs, they ...

A recent study published in PNAS introduces a new artificial intelligence approach to map how different regions of the human ...

Neuralink's brain implant reached 11.32 bits per second after training on more than 50,000 hours of neural activity.

What if the future of AI wasn’t just faster, but smarter, more efficient, and inspired by the very organ that powers human thought? Enter China’s new Spiking Brain model, a innovative leap in ...
