Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain so far, by mapping cells in 1 cubic millimetre of a mouse’s brain tissue 1. In a landmark achievement, the ...

Across a typical lifetime, the human brain does not simply grow, peak, and decline. It passes through five sweeping ...

It's an accomplishment that scientists have dreamed about for more than half a century. At last, a massive international team of researchers has mapped in exquisite detail every neuron in the brain of ...

Our brain cells serve as the building blocks of every thought, feeling, and physical action we've ever had — and yet the brain is still our most mysterious organ. Now, scientists may have a new ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

A new study shows that the human brain stores what we remember and the context in which it happens using different neurons.

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve cells, ...
