Human brain cells are now interacting with computer systems, learning to play video games like Doom. Researchers have ...

A dish of living human neurons has been taught to play Doom. No, it isn’t conscious or watching the screen the way players do. But it is learning to respond to signals in a way that produces ...

Study maps five major eras of brain wiring from birth to old age, revealing the key turning points that shape how we learn, ...

Human brains can sense rhythm and melody from birth, showing music may be part of biology rather than something learned.

A sweeping new analysis of more than 4,000 brain scans reveals that our brains’ neural networks don’t simply mature and then decline; they reorganize through a series of distinct life-stage “epochs,” ...

In 2024, Elon Musk's Neuralink implant allowed a quadriplegic patient to play RuneScape and Slay the Spire in his brain. But now, scientists are taking things further, training lab-grown brain cells ...

A new study highlights five key eras of human brain development, and they don’t align with age quite as one might expect.

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...

From lab-grown mini-brains to neck surgery, researchers explore how the glymphatic system can help in treating diseases. Read ...
