In a landmark study released today, artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to reveal over a thousand previously hidden components within the human brain’s connectome. These intricate neural ...

Research from a team of Harvard and Google scientists has revealed never-before-seen details of the human brain’s structure. The findings pave the way for a better understanding of AI—and, in turn, ...

In new research published in Nature, scientists have produced the first comprehensive atlas of the tiny energy producers in the human brain. By slicing a donated brain into more than seven hundred ...

For 200 years, scientists have speculated that different parts of the brain were responsible for different types of activity and behaviors and have tried to build maps of the brain, carving it up into ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...
