"Experiments to run AI using human brain cells are underway"—it sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but this is ...

Stanford researchers implanted lab-grown human brain tissue into newborn rats, where it matured, connected to neural circuits, and helped scientists study brain development and disease.

Scientists have grown human brain tissue to fill most of a mouse’s cortex, creating a new model for studying brain disease and neural circuits.

The human brain begins developing along two distinct paths, a discovery that could help scientists grow hard-to-make neurons in the lab.

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like cerebral palsy. Ethicists ask if it changes how these mice should be treated.

In the well-known thought experiment known as the prisoner's dilemma, one individual has to decide whether to stay silent or talk to the police about their crime based on how they anticipate an ...

Neural network models that are able to make decisions or store memories have long captured scientists' imaginations. In these models, a hallmark of the computation being performed by the network is ...
