You might expect that with age comes a natural progression of brain degeneration, but new research shows that this might not be the case for all regions of the brain. A new analysis of mouse and human ...

A needle-thin, flexible brain implant is giving researchers a new way to interact with multiple brain regions simultaneously.

A new type of brain implant may have implications for both brain research and future treatments of neurological diseases such ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

Deep inside your brain, the sense of touch is handled by a strip of tissue only a few millimeters thick. This area, known as the primary somatosensory cortex, processes every tactile signal that ...

In A Nutshell Harvard researchers developed BrainIAC, a single AI model that can be adapted to analyze brain scans for ...

Scientists have spent decades trying to understand whether the layered sheet of tissue that covers your brain follows one common pattern for handling information. Each region of the cortex contains ...

The human brain shrinks as it ages, affecting the ability to remember — it’s part of life. Yet there are a lucky few, called “SuperAgers,” who possess a brain that fights back. For these people, ...

A small exploratory study of the brains of children who have autism has shown that some abnormalities appear to form early in fetal development. The differences are seen in certain brain layers. The ...

Scientists have found that the human brain understands spoken language in a surprisingly similar way to advanced AI systems.

There’s no question that AI systems have accomplished some impressive feats, mastering games, writing text, and generating convincing images and video. That’s gotten some people talking about the ...
