Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...
The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...
For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.
Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...
The cerebellum, often called the little brain, plays a much bigger role in language processing than once believed. Located at ...
Neuroscientists and philosophers have debated this thought experiment for decades as they have tried to understand how the ...
Intrinsic neural attractors and extrinsic environmental inputs jointly steer the dynamic trajectories of brain activity ...
Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...
Earlier this year, John Hopkins University scientists revealed that they had created something astonishing: a miniature whole human brain. Specifically, it was a type of organoid, a small mass of ...
