Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different to our closest relatives. Our ...

Comparing the human brain to both species meant we could not only assess which parts of our brain are unique to us, but also which parts are likely to be shared heritage with our non-human relatives.

While today’s generative AI tools and LLMs are powerful enough to process hundreds of thousands of words simultaneously, the human brain’s language areas process words serially, or one at a time.

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 ...

The human brain is about 60% fat by weight, far more than any other organ. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3s, are key to the strength and performance of the brain’s cells.

The human brain makes a flurry of decisions when it receives a sensory input. In just 60 to 110 milliseconds—faster than the blink of an eye—your brain processes the information and decides ...

Researchers at Tianjin University in China have created a robot that is controlled by human brain cells in a first-of-its-kind breakthrough in biocomputation.

The researchers' organoids were formed from human pluripotent stem cells, which have the capacity to divide and develop into different kinds of cells, such as brain tissues.
