A hidden communication network between brain cells and glioblastoma tumors may be key to slowing this aggressive cancer.

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

Lab-grown brain tissue is too simple to experience consciousness, but as innovation progresses, neuroscientists question whether it's time to revisit the ethics of this line of research. When you ...

Part 3 of the TED Radio Hour episode Brain Hacks. Neuroscientists have long been frustrated that they cannot access or examine brain tissue. But by reverse-engineering cells in the lab, Sergiu Pașca ...

The brain is a great source of inspiration for Alexander Ororbia, an assistant professor of computer science and cognitive science at RIT. By mimicking how neurons in the brain learn, Ororbia is ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the research laboratories at the University of Chicago and the scholars who are tackling some ...

A human’s way of processing information can be used as a model to train next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) systems, according to research published Jan. 22 in Nature. Cory Merkel, an ...
