Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

Every clonal raider ant lives a nearly identical life. Each new generation of these blind, queenless ants is born at the same time, eats the same things, lives in the same environment, and—as an ...

Scientists have created a computer model that aims to mimic the human brain, hoping it might teach us about ourselves.

In the patterned brain organoids, by contrast, FGF8 is the only signal that specifies the different domains. Analyzing the brain organoids, the scientists conclude that the FGF8 source in the ...

A new open-source model of brain metabolism, developed by scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), has shown how altering key chemicals could restore aged cells to their youthful ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

Scientists have created a novel organoid model of the human brain that contains astrocytes -- which have been excluded from other models thus far -- to study inflammation in diseases like Alzheimer's.

The human brain processes spoken language in a step-by-step sequence that closely matches how large language models transform text.

Brain activity during speech follows a layered timing pattern that matches large language model steps, showing how meaning builds gradually.

Europe’s current investment in brain health isn’t adequate; its fragmented funding landscape hinders a stronger strategic ...
