Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

It's an extremely ambitious goal. The post Scientists Preparing to Simulate Human Brain on Supercomputer appeared first on Futurism.

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

Until Homo floresiensis was discovered, scientists assumed that the evolution of the human lineage was defined by bigger and bigger brains. Via a process called encephalization, human brains evolved ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow ...

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 ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.
