A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...

A new brain-computer interface promises ultra-high resolution neural recording and wireless operation in a very small form.

Princeton scientists found that the brain uses reusable “cognitive blocks” to create new behaviors quickly.

What if your conscious experiences were not just the chatter of neurons, but were connected to the hum of the universe? In a ...

Why do some children develop a brain that is too small (microcephaly)? An international research team involving the German ...

Scientists have created a soft wireless implant that uses tiny flashes of light to send information straight into the brain, ...

Our nerve cells are surrounded by a protective layer (myelin). This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells ...

A new brain implant stands to transform human-computer interaction and expand treatment possibilities for neurological ...

A small brain region reacts strongly to chimp calls. This shows that our voice system links to older primate signals.

Our nerve cells are surrounded by a protective layer (myelin). This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells incredibly quickly. But what happens when this layer goes missing from cells ...

A new study suggests that the brain uses distinct neural pathways to process different aspects of personal well-being. The ...
