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 ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

Stressful study sessions help us pass exams, but curiosity promotes long-term understanding and information retention. In A Nutshell You can nudge your brain’s “study mode”: start with focused basics, ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

Let’s take a look at some of the most common neuromyths that help shape educational thinking. Myth 1: Students are either ...
