Researchers reveal how modeling the human brain’s hidden wiring could push AI beyond its current limits into human-like ...

Inaccurate metaphors about the mind can cause real harm, for instance leading educators to 'train' children like algorithms.

A scientific team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a new, ultra-high-resolution ...

The human brain is one of the most complex and fascinating organs in the body. It controls everything we do—from thoughts and ...

Human brains today contain 50% more plastic than in 2016, a new study found. Brain of people diagnosed with dementia had the most.

While human livers and kidneys also showed increases, the concentrations in brains were seven to 30 times greater, the study found. There was also a higher concentration of micro- and nanoplastic ...

The levels of plastic in the human brain have increased 50% increase since 2016, according to a new preprint study not yet peer-reviewed.

The human brain may contain up to a spoon’s worth of tiny plastic shards—not a spoonful, but the same weight (about seven grams) as a plastic spoon, according to new findings published Monday ...

This $35,000 Computer Runs on Human Brain Cells. Scientists Say It’s Not Conscious—Yet. The path toward our mind-machine merger never has never seemed clearer.

In our study, we compared these connectivity fingerprints across the human, chimpanzee and macaque monkey brain. The chimpanzee is, together with the bonobo, our closest living relative. The ...

Researchers at Caltech have calculated exactly how fast the human brain processes information — and the numbers are hilariously low.
