MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Mental illness is often described in abstract terms, but is rooted in the brain. A study reveals that genes influencing ...

Why we procrastinate has less to do with willpower than with how flexibly our brains handle stress and discomfort - and the ...

A new, high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) can be rapidly implanted through a minimally invasive procedure. The ...

MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

Teens talk about their “brain rot” online. While there isn’t data to back it up, per se, experts do have concerns about the effect on kids and adults.

Neuroscientist Steve Ramirez has found ways to plant memories in mice. Here's what that could mean for humans.

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

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.

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

Researchers studying the human brain shared a lot of fascinating research this year, like how to keep brains young and how to ...

In a world increasingly obsessed with optimisation, that stubborn refusal to be predictable may be the last human advantage ...
