Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

Consciousness may emerge not from code, but from the way living brains physically compute.

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain ...

Mental illness is often described in abstract terms, but is rooted in the brain. A study reveals that genes influencing ...

Imagine you’re on a first date, sipping a martini at a bar. You eat an olive and patiently listen to your date tell you about his job at a bank. Your brain is processing this scene, in part, by ...

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 ...

Researchers at Caltech have calculated how fast the human brain processes information — and the number turned out to be hilariously low. As detailed in a new study published in the journal Neuron, the ...
