A team of researchers in the Netherlands has proposed a new way of designing computer models of the brain—an approach that ...

When you're stressed at work, your brain doesn't want complexity; it wants a simple mental lifeline like "cognitive chunking" to grab onto in the heat of the moment.

As more labs have adopted this methodology, they’ve created increasingly complex structures, including interconnected systems ...

Mornings can feel chaotic when not organised properly, but just a few simple habits can change the way your brain works and ...

Humans carry a surprising relic from deep evolutionary history, one that traces back to a tiny, one-eyed ancestor that lived nearly 600 million years ago. New findings on eye evolution highlight how ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain—they talk to it. In a new ...

Organoids are miniature, simplified versions of an organ. Over the past two decades, scientists have developed them for the ...

The potential benefits of organoids for fundamental research and medicine are huge. Efforts to establish proper boundaries ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, offers a way to monitor brain activity without surgery or radiation by tracking changes in blood flow and oxygenation. Light sources placed on the scalp send near ...

Scientists have uncovered a powerful new clue in the mystery of brain aging: a single protein called FTL1. In aging mice, higher levels of this protein weakened connections between brain cells and led ...
