Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

For more than a century, brain imaging has been a story of trade-offs: sharp pictures but slow timing, or fast signals with ...

What’s so special about the human brain? What distinguishes the human brain from the brains of other animals? These intriguing questions have been approached from many directions, but here the focus ...

A team of Chinese researchers has stuck a tiny organoid made from human stem cells into the body of a tiny robot, resulting in a Frankensteinian creation that can learn how to complete certain tasks.
