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

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 ...

A large study of brain scans shows that our neural wiring evolves through five major stages from birth to late old age. These phases are separated by sudden turning points that mark big shifts in how ...

Human brain development begins during gestation and continues postnatally through old age. The brain undergoes profound changes in macrostructure and microstructure underpinned by numerous cellular ...

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

An international study changes the view that exposure to the toxic metal lead is largely a post-industrial phenomenon. The research reveals that our human ancestors were periodically exposed to lead ...

“A terabyte is, for most people, gigantic, yet a fragment of a human brain – just a miniscule, teeny-weeny little bit of human brain – is still thousands of terabytes.” The latest map in Science ...

Fragments from the brain of a man killed by the Mount Vesuvius eruption in the year 79 are smooth and shiny but still contain visible neurons. They look like small pieces of obsidian, smooth and shiny ...

As a neuroscientist, I am not afraid of AI. Source: Randa Marzouk/Unsplash In fact, I would love to see it improve faster. One major obstacle to a significant leap is that AI is developed by engineers ...
