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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Aron Barbey, the Andrew J. McKenna Family Professor of Psychology in Notre Dame’s Department of Psychology, is also the director of the Notre Dame Human Neuroimaging Center and the Decision ...

Research on conditions like autism, schizophrenia and even brain cancer increasingly relies on clusters of human cells called brain organoids. These pea-size bits of neural tissue model aspects of ...

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 ...
