Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...
