No body, no dopamine, no problem. Scientists have successfully coached lab-grown brain tissue to solve a classic robotics challenge, proving that the will to learn is hardwired into our neurons.

Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler and make many small adjustments to make sure it doesn't fall over. It ...

A few blobs of lab-grown brain tissue have demonstrated a striking proof of concept: living neural circuits can be nudged toward solving a classic control problem through carefully structured feedback ...

Using two newly developed types of reasoning tests, a team of researchers at UCL and UCLH has identified key brain regions that are essential for logical thinking and problem-solving. The results will ...

At top, a neural spike is read out and decoded to move the cart. On the bottom, a waveform indicates electrical stimulation into specific neurons to encode the pole's angle into the organoid. This ...
