The human brain actively keeps "learning" in balance by holding on to what matters and letting go of what does not. Researchers in Korea have now reproduced this ability in a semiconductor device, ...

Parts of the brain are "rewired" when people learn computer programming, according to new research. Scientists watched university students’ brains as they learned to code. The team used functional ...

A landmark experiment led by Stanford University researchers expands the scope of what we can learn from lab-grown neural models, dramatically improving the integration of a human cortical organoid ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...
