Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different from our closest relatives.

In a recent study published in Communications Psychology, researchers from NYU led by Associate Professor of Biomedical ...

While today’s generative AI tools and LLMs are powerful enough to process hundreds of thousands of words simultaneously, the human brain’s language areas process words serially, or one at a time.

We’re closer than ever to mapping the entire brain to the microscopic level. Hundreds of neuroscientists across the world recently characterized more than 3,000 human brain cell types as part of ...

The human brain is turning out to be much more complicated than scientists could have ever imagined (Credit: Mareen Fischinger/Forschungszentrum Jülich) Human brains are bigger than those of our ...

The brain atlas, a $375 million effort started in 2017, has identified more than 3,300 types of brain cells, an order of magnitude more than was previously reported.

A team of neuroscientists and engineers, aided by machine learning tools, have charted a cubic millimeter volume of the human brain at nanoscale resolution, tracing every neuron, synapse, blood ...

The human brain is three times bigger than a chimp’s and more spherical than a Neanderthal’s. Within a maze of bumps and grooves, neurons converse in distinct patterns that give humans unique ...

Breathing Could Bring Microplastics Into the Human Brain, Study Shows By Ernie Mundell HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, Sept. 16, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- For the first time, scientists have detected ...

The human brain is about 60% fat by weight, far more than any other organ. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3s, are key to the strength and performance of the brain’s cells.

Human neurons transplanted into a rat’s brain continue to grow, forming connections with the animals’ own brain cells and helping guide their behavior, new research has shown.

What happens to our brains when we die? A new study could provide answers 06:41. Scientists have transplanted human brain cells into the brains of baby rats, where the cells grew and formed ...
