New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers a step closer to useful applications ...

On the computer screens, the mouse brain is shown from several angles. Then you click, and a small area of the brain is ...

Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

A study published in the journal Science Advances details a promising, new avenue toward improving awake brain mapping results by investigating the tiny, nearly imperceptible variabilities in patient ...

A protein reinforces the blood–brain barrier, which becomes leaky with age. Exercise prevents brain ageing and memory loss by strengthening the blood–brain barrier, the structure that keeps harmful ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Researchers at Washington State University and the University of Calgary recently published a study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that cannabis use led to a measurable ...

An international study has revealed a surprising connection between quantum physics and the theoretical models underlying ...

No body, no dopamine, no problem. Scientists have successfully coached lab-grown brain tissue to solve a classic robotics challenge, proving that the will to learn is hardwired into our neurons.

Founded by Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith, Fix The World argues that capitalism is not the root of moral conflict but ...
