With organoids, assembloids and a growing toolkit of bioengineering tricks, scientists are stitching together models of the developing human brain — and pushing the limits of realism and control.

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.

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 from our closest 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.

New study shows plastic accumulates in the brain, as well as other body parts. ... For reference, the average adult human brain weighs about 3 pounds, typically between 1,300 and 1,400 grams.

Now, a study seeks to explain how these nanoparticles enter the human brain (of which up to a “spoonful” may be present!) and the potential impact they may have on our overall health.

An international team of researchers and gamers, led by Princeton’s Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, mapped every neuron and every synaptic connection in an adult fruit fly's brain, building a ...

What if a single choice could hijack your brain's wiring, rewriting your behavior, judgment, and even your ability to survive? The human brain is an essential organ in the body, responsible for ...
