Scientists at Johns Hopkins have grown a first-of-its-kind organoid mimicking an entire human brain, complete with rudimentary blood vessels and neural activity. This new "multi-region brain organoid" ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

The human brain is constantly processing information that unfolds at different speeds—from split-second reactions to sudden environmental changes to slower, more reflective processes such as ...

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, ...

If you need another reason to visit the gym this winter, a new study of almost 1,200 healthy, middle-aged men and women found that those with more muscle mass tended to have younger brains than those ...

New research has charted the major developmental stages in the brain’s wiring—from early-life pruning to late-life network breakdown—offering a new roadmap for how our brains evolve. Colored diffusion ...

A large-scale international study found that creative activities such as music, dance, painting and even certain video games may help keep the brain biologically "younger." Researchers from 13 ...

Researchers studied thousands of brain scans to see how the organ's architecture changes over a lifetime. University of Cambridge Your brain constantly rewires itself as you age. It may even go ...

As we age, the human brain rewires itself. The process happens in distinct phases, or “epochs,” according to new research, as the structure of our neural networks changes and our brains reconfigure ...
