Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate ...

How do brain regions communicate? Researchers introduce a new optogenetic method to target long-distance circuits in ...

The next surprise was that human organoids just kept growing. Mouse organoids were done with making neurons within nine days.

How does the brain perceive time? A new fMRI study identifies a three-stage neural relay from the visual cortex to the frontal regions that constructs our subjective experience of duration and timing.
