A new study proves individual human cortical neurons have the computational complexity of an entire deep artificial neural ...

A new study, published July 6, 2026, in the journal Nature Communications, suggests that two of the best-known trends in ...

Our brains are large compared with other animals, so it is tempting to assume there was an evolutionary advantage to them – ...

ANCHOR, a 3D human brainstem atlas, combines MRI and microscopy imaging to help researchers study neurodegenerative diseases ...

The idea of controlling machines with one’s mind used to be a staple of a certain kind of science fiction. Now it’s quickly becoming reality. Implantable brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, have ...

Tiny micro- and nanoplastic fragments seem to be turning up everywhere, including one of the most well-protected parts of the human body—the brain. In a recent study conducted by Chinese researchers, ...

Shortly before his death, the physicist Richard Feynman inscribed these legendary words onto a blackboard: “What I cannot create, I do not understand.” AI researchers have really taken this idea to ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. The brain is unimaginably complex. Google and Harvard recently announced ...

Over a year ago, I wrote a post about how trauma is "not just in your head". Here, I follow it up with corroborating evidence. I’ve dedicated most of my life to treating trauma using ...

The potential to create personalised digital “twins” of your brain and body is a hot topic in neuroscience and medicine today. These computer models are designed to simulate how parts of your brain ...
