The first hint of a brain developed on Earth around 600 million years ago, and now, some version of the organ can be found in nearly every animal in the world. Humans have the largest brain size ...

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in development than those of healthy peers, new research has found. According ...

Researchers have come up with a clever new way of freezing brain cells just as they fire out a signal, meaning processes that normally happen too quickly to observe can be studied in detail – and ...

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.

Scientists have long known that the hippocampus is essential for forming new memories. It helps record where and when things happen. But how it processes what you see—like objects or images—has been a ...

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 ...

Professor Jim Al-Khalili unravels the mystery of how the most complex structure known of in the universe - the human brain - came to exist. From playing computer games with chimpanzees to studying ...

Immune cells in the human brain may be critical to orchestrating the organ's development in the womb because they trigger a dramatic increase in an important type of nerve cell, new research suggests.
