The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways ...

To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion ...

Anthony Leonardo is a neuroscientist at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s research facility who has created an environment to track dragonflies’ neuron transmissions. This research will enable him to ...

This comprehensive review synthesizes a decade of human and animal research to explain how the gut and brain communicate ...

Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

A new advanced imaging study led by scientists from the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London (ICL), has looked at what happens in people's brains when they take the potent ...
