Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps of the developing human brain. The atlas captures nearly every cell type, ...

A new large-scale, open data resource from the Perelman School of Medicine and collaborators helps researchers link brain ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

How do we recognize and interpret what others are doing—whether they're greeting a friend, preparing a meal together or doing ...

A new study provides the best evidence to date that the connection patterns between various parts of the human brain can tell scientists the specialized functions of each region.

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...

The brain-computer interface developer Precision Neuroscience has put forward a study detailing the experiences of its first human patients—showing its minimally invasive approach is capable of both ...

Since Madeline Lancaster first created brain organoids back in 2013, they have become widely used for brain research around the world. But what exactly are they? Are they effectively miniature brains ...

Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.

In "Horizon: Secrets of the Brain," Al-Khalili surveys the animals and fossils shaping our understanding of how the brain evolved over millions of years, and the scientists unraveling each piece of ...
