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 ...

On social media, a claim regularly resurfaces: the human brain would only reach maturity at age 25. While this simplified ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational har ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

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 ...

What makes the human brain different from that of other primates has long been a question. A new study suggests that the answer may be in a surprising twist of evolutionary fate: one of the brain’s ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

The medical consequences of traumatic brain injuries are well-studied and affect millions of Americans every year. But one of ...
