Findings by Hopkins researchers suggest that all humans are equipped with the foundation needed to learn programming ...

There must be something about the human brain that’s different from the brains of other animals — something that enables humans to plan, imagine the future, solve crossword puzzles, tell sarcastic ...

A new look at the human brain is beginning to reveal the inner lives of its cellular residents. The human brain holds a dizzying collection of diverse cells, and no two brains are the same, cellularly ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

Today, an international team of researchers shared an extraordinarily detailed atlas of human brain cells, mapping its staggering diversity of neurons. The atlas was published as part of a massive ...

Researchers identified some 3,300 types of brain cells, an order of magnitude more than was previously known, and have only a dim notion of what most of them do. By Carl Zimmer An international team ...

Clusters of brain cells grown in the lab have shown potential as a new type of hybrid bio-computer. Brain organoids, clumps of human brain cells grown in a dish, can be hooked up to an electronic chip ...

Researchers have created the largest synaptic-resolution, 3D reconstruction of a piece of human brain to date, showing in vivid detail each cell and its web of neural connections in a piece of human ...
