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 ...

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 first human brain-computer interface by Paradromics was completed in 20 minutes, featuring microelectrodes to help paralyzed individuals control computers with thoughts.

Until now, whether living brain tissue could be shut down by freezing and then regain function was unknown. Cryopreservation involves more than just freezing.

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 doesn’t learn, think or recall like an AI. Embrace the difference Brains aren’t computers.

Last year, Elon Musk's Neuralink became the first to implant a brain-computer interface into a human patient. Noland Arbaugh, who was paralyzed in an accident in 2016, received "the Link" implant ...

As plastic breaks down over time, it degrades into smaller and smaller bits ‒ eventually small enough to slip inside the human body. Most of the plastics the scientists found in brain, kidney ...

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 ...

Representation of locomotive action affordances in human behavior, brains, and deep neural networks. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2025; 122 (24) DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2414005122 ...

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 ...

The human brain filters trillions of sensory inputs down to just 10 bits per second, a cognitive bottleneck shaped by evolution that impacts decision-making and multitasking.
