Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only provide an inner window on brain disorders, but may become sophisticated enough ...

The race to understand the brain has just crossed a threshold that once belonged to science fiction. Using one of the world’s fastest supercomputers, researchers have assembled a digital mouse cortex ...

Every moment, the brain balances signals that unfold at different speeds. Some arrive in milliseconds, such as a sudden sound ...

Researchers have developed a powerful new software toolbox that allows realistic brain models to be trained directly on data. This open-source framework, called JAXLEY, combines the precision of ...

Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most detailed biophysically realistic brain simulations of an animal ever. This ...

An image from the study, showing the areas of the brain affected by Alzheimer’s disease (yellow) found when using real data and when using synthetic data generated by several methods. As you can see, ...

Scientists have created a novel organoid model of the human brain that contains astrocytes -- which have been excluded from other models thus far -- to study inflammation in diseases like Alzheimer's.
