Mindia Wichert has taken part in plenty of brain experiments as a cognitive-neuroscience graduate student at the Humboldt University of Berlin, but none was as challenging as one he faced in 2023.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new player in Alzheimer’s disease: a protein called CSE that helps produce tiny ...

Researchers have created one of the most detailed virtual mouse cortex simulations ever achieved by combining massive biological datasets with the extraordinary power of Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer.

In this study, the authors use microCT to image an intact hatchling octopus and segment major organ systems, including the vascular, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems. The resulting dataset ...

A confocal microscopy image of doublecortin-stained newborn neurons (pink) and nuclear stain DAPI (green), which shows that neurogenesis is occurring in the brain of a normal mouse. Scientists at ...

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 ...

When the stomach is full, how does the brain know to stop eating? Scientists long assumed the answer lies mainly with neurons, the brain's primary signaling cells. But a new study published in the ...

Researchers have found that low-intensity sound waves directed through the skull can help mice shed conditioned fear responses, offering a potential new route for treating trauma-related disorders. A ...

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. A clump of roughly 200,000 ...

The left and right sides of the brain are specialized for different functions. The left brain is more capable of language tasks. Whereas the right brain is excellent at tasks like spatial mapping.
