New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An international research team led by biologists from Heidelberg University as ...

Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Brain scans show a spot in the cerebellum attuned specifically to words, expanding on studies that point to the region's ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human brain? Outside of the theory itself being devis ...

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, ...

AURORA, Colo. (Dec. 19, 2025) – Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz have discovered that while brain neuron changes, including cell loss, may begin in early life, a drug long-approved ...

Abstract: Precise quantification and localization of tracer-labeled neurons are essential for unraveling brain connectivity patterns and constructing a mesoscopic brain connectome atlas in macaques.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. It is not possible to understand the long-term future of artificial ...
