This may sound crazy, but scientists use blood to build soft neural interfaces in the brain, and then control them with light ...

For years, the idea of building a working replica of the human brain has lived comfortably in the realm of science fiction. A ...

Scientists have discovered a way to help the brain clean itself of harmful Alzheimer’s plaques by activating its own support cells. By increasing a protein called Sox9, researchers were able to boost ...

MIT researchers found that chaotic laser light can transform into a precise, stable beam. This breakthrough enables much ...

A startup is experimenting with data centers powered by lab-grown human neurons, testing whether living cells can offer a ...

New insight into decision-making pathways in the brain may impact the way engineers think about artificial intelligence, ...

Fish oil has long been praised as brain-boosting, but new research suggests the story may be more complicated. Scientists found that in people with repeated mild head injuries, a key omega-3 fatty ...

A US scientist, previously at Harvard University, has set up a brain-computer interface research lab in Shenzhen, China, ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

Hibernation can vary by species. Martin says some hibernators, such as ground squirrels, rewarm—or wake up from hibernation from internal heating, rather than with the help of warm weather. This ...

A grisly detail about a new data center powered by human neurons: technicians have to constantly replenish the brainy computers’ cerebrospinal fluid. “We remove the fluid every 24 hours,” Hong Weng ...
