For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains, both in silicon and in living tissue, that can learn, adapt, and even ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists showed that it’s possible to reproduce an entire cerebral cortex inside one of the world’s fastest computers. The model represents the ...

It's an extremely ambitious goal. The post Scientists Preparing to Simulate Human Brain on Supercomputer appeared first on ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

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 ...

A new AI-assisted brain atlas that can help visualize the human brain in unprecedented detail has been developed by UCL researchers, in a major step forward for neuroscience and neuroimaging. The ...

Cancer and Alzheimer's disease are two of the most feared diagnoses in medicine, but they rarely strike the same person.

If you have ever lifted a weight, you know the routine: challenge the muscle, give it rest, feed it and repeat. Over time, it ...
