The next surprise was that human organoids just kept growing. Mouse organoids were done with making neurons within nine days.

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

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 ...

To this day, in the known universe, only one example exists of a system capable of general-purpose intelligence. That system ...

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 ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

How do you intuitively know that you can walk on a footpath and swim in a lake? Researchers from the University of Amsterdam have discovered unique brain activations that reflect how we can move our ...
