Like the rest of your body, your brain is made up of cells. For the brain to function properly, brain cells called neurons in one area of the brain need to communicate with neurons in other areas of ...

The human brain remains one of the most mysterious organs in the human body. However, an imaging technique tested on mice brains and developed by a group of researchers including from Harvard, MIT ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the human ...

A WORLD WITHOUT COLOR appears to be missing crucial elements. And indeed it is. Colors not only enable us to see the world more precisely, they also create emergent qualities that would not exist ...

Researchers report the first complex 3D model made of brain-like cortical tissue that exhibits biochemical and electrophysiological response and functions in vitro for months. The engineered ...

Brain organoids are grown in a lab using stem cells, and can mimic the functions of different regions of the brain like the cortex, retina, and cerebellum. Though it may sound a bit like science ...

Research suggests that the brain's size, curves and grooves may play important roles in its function, perhaps even more than the connections between neurons.

The most comprehensive model of the brain’s metabolism, incorporating more than 16,800 biochemical interactions, has identified key targets to reverse the age-related decline in brain function.
