Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

If the award-winning 1967 movie The Graduate were remade today, the film’s memorable word would need to switch from "plastics" to "plasticity," to mark the present as well as the future.

Jaideep Mavoori, a University of Washington researcher, spends a lot of time thinking about communicationsnot telephone or radio, but the sophisticated network that is the human body's nervous system.

Our brain is an energy-efficient marvel, with 86 billion neurons and trillions of connections running on just 20 watts—the energy of a single lightbulb. Swiss innovators at Final Spark are ...

When engineers build AI language models like GPT-5 from training data, at least two major processing features emerge: memorization (reciting exact text they’ve seen before, like famous quotes or ...

New research published in Scientific Reports provides evidence that the path from genetic predisposition to general intelligence travels through specific, frequency-dependent networks in the brain.
