Tiny lab-grown brains are offering an unprecedented look at how schizophrenia and bipolar disorder disrupt neural activity. Researchers found distinct electrical firing patterns that could identify ...

A medical startup says it is using disembodied human brains in new drug development research targeting neurodegenerative diseases, a practice that may draw unsettling comparisons to the science ...

For most of human evolution, the story of the brain seemed to move in one direction: up. Over millions of years, our ancestors’ brains expanded from ape-sized organs into the relatively oversized ...

Over the past two decades, some studies have suggested that human brains are shrinking. But there is also evidence that IQ scores have risen over the past century. But is it possible for us to get ...

Lab-grown neuron groups can mimic parts of the human brain and help researchers study both the brain’s development and disorders. Now researchers have started linking these “organoids” to proto-spinal ...

It was personal when Pat Schultz enrolled her German shepherd-poodle mix in the Dog Aging Project. Her husband was suffering from Alzheimer's at the time, and the project her dog was participating in ...

Put “Alien” on standby — because science may be inching a tiny step closer to real-life cryosleep. In a breakthrough that sounds ripped straight from a Ridley Scott flick, researchers in Germany have ...

JetBrains has introduced Tracy, an AI tracing library for the Kotlin and Java languages. Announced March 11 and accessible from GitHub, Tracy helps developers trace, monitor, and evaluate AI-powered ...

A look inside the brains of extraordinarily sharp elderly people reveals clues about their unusual abilities. Deep in these exceptional brains were signs of what some scientists believe to be newborn ...

The global ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 is driving intense research into low-carbon energy vectors to mitigate the climate impact of the dominant use of fossil fuels. This challenge ...

As we age, it’s not uncommon for the brain to change in ways that can negatively impact our cognition. SuperAgers are adults ages 80 and older who tend to retain their brain health and cognition. A ...
