The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf's lab used organoids to make fundamental discoveries about human ...

In A Nutshell Lab-grown human brain cells spontaneously organize into precise firing sequences without any sensory experience ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a ...

Norman Doidge, citing a study by Merzenich and colleagues, found that the brain allocates neurological resources to its most ...

For decades, scientists believed the human brain stopped producing new neurons after childhood. This long-held view painted the adult brain as a fixed organ, incapable of generating fresh cells in the ...

Robots that can sense and respond to the world like humans may soon be a reality as scientists have created an artificial ...

Neurons that specifically reduce and modulate electrical brain activity have a greater influence on emotional memories than ...

Our brain is an energy-efficient marvel, with 86 billion neurons and trillions of connections running on just 20 watts—the energy of a single lightbulb. Swiss innovators at Final Spark are ...

Cellular maturation involves transcriptional, metabolic, and physiological changes that drive cell function. In human neurons, this process takes longer than in most other cell types, lasting almost ...

The last turning point comes around age 83. The data for this final era is more limited, but the defining feature is a shift ...
