Going to space is harsh on the human body, and as a new study from our research team finds, the brain shifts upward and backward and deforms inside the skull after spaceflight.

Scientists have created a groundbreaking tool that can listen to the electrical signals inside tiny lab-grown human brain models, often called “mini brains.” These structures, known as neural ...

A thin, wireless brain implant with 65,000+ sensors maps vision, touch, and movement from the brain’s surface, promising gentler, high‑resolution neural interfaces.

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 ...

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a grain of sand, can receive electrical signals and respond to them — much as ...

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, ...
