The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. The brain is unimaginably complex. Google and Harvard recently announced ...

Can artificial intelligence help decode the human brain? A new study by finds that a new AI model is capable of acting as a "digital twin" of the human brain, capable of predicting human brain ...

A research team at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a new noninvasive brain stimulation technique, by showing how focused ultrasound affects the human brain. Using brainwave recordings from ...

A representative MRI tractography image of the first era of the human brain. This image is representative of the general pattern seen across the brains in the study during the first era of neural ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Human evolution has long been tied to growing brain size, and new research suggests prenatal hormones may have played a surprising role. By studying the relative lengths of index and ring fingers — a ...
