Think you see the world as it is? Think again. The brain’s shortcuts make us efficient—but also deeply biased.

A breakthrough in neuromorphic computing could lower the energy consumption of chips and accelerate progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of En ...

A new Northwestern University study using patient nervous tissue and lab-grown human neurons has uncovered how a key disease ...

According to neuroscientist Ben Rein’s new book, Why Brains Need Friends, it comes down to our brains. As he explains in the book, that grey matter in our heads is exquisitely optimized for social ...

Computing systems that mimic biological neural networks underlie many artificial-intelligence applications. But these ...

How does the brain take out its trash? That is the job of the brain's lymphatic drainage system, and efforts to understand ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have discovered that the gut's rhythmic muscle movements could help explain how blood vessels in the brain expand and contract together.
