Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

Tiny lab-grown “mini brains” are no longer just a futuristic curiosity. By capturing the electrical chatter of neurons in a ...

Tiny lab-grown brains are offering an unprecedented look at how schizophrenia and bipolar disorder disrupt neural activity.

Galway-based scientists have discovered improvements in growing "mini brains" in laboratories, which could benefit studies into strokes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

In a pioneering achievement, a research team led by experts at Cincinnati Children's has developed the world's first human mini-brain that incorporates a fully functional blood-brain barrier (BBB).

Researchers use cortical organoids to answer fundamental questions such as how the human brain can grow to its large size or how the human brain's long-range connections form. However, cortical ...

Lewy body dementia (LBD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that shares traits with both Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease but can be more difficult to diagnose. Symptoms can include ...

Scientists are building experimental computers from living human brain cells and testing how they learn and adapt.

Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly's visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

What if the future of AI wasn’t just faster, but smarter, more efficient, and inspired by the very organ that powers human thought? Enter China’s new Spiking Brain model, a innovative leap in ...
