Lab-grown 'minibrains' help reveal why traumatic brain injury raises dementia risk
Miniature models of the brain are helping scientists study the cellular damage inflicted by traumatic brain injuries.
1st Neuralink patient shown using brain chip to control computer and play chess in unexpected livestream
In a surprise video, Elon Musk's Neuralink revealed the first recipient of the company's brain-computer interface using the device to play online chess. They also discussed the "life-changing" procedure for the first time.
'Flow state' uncovered: We finally know what happens in the brain when you're 'in the zone'
Researchers say they've found the answer to competing hypotheses about how the brain functions in a "flow state."
'Universal' brain wave pattern discovered across primate species — including humans
Scientists have uncovered a consistent brain-wave pattern that erupts throughout the cortex in several primates, including us.
Mini model of human embryonic brain and spinal cord grown in lab
The new organoids were grown in the lab for up to 40 days, and they mimicked the central nervous system of an 11-week-old human embryo.
Elon Musk's Neuralink has concerning lack of transparency and could be vulnerable to hacking, ethicists warn
Brain-computer interfaces have the potential to transform some people's lives, but they raise a host of ethical issues, too.
3D-printed human brain tissue works like the real thing
The printed tissue grows and functions like that in a normal human brain, according to the authors of the new study.
Assuming the worst in others can be 'read' in brain scans
Activity in the brain's "ventromedial prefrontal cortex" differs between people who assume the worst in social situations and those who don't, a study finds.
