Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

Brain–computer interfaces being trialled in China offer some advantages over Neuralink and other leading US devices.

Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing controversy in neuroscience.

In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

Predicting how molecular changes affect the brain's overall activity is a major challenge in neuroscience. Many deep ...

A new study has revealed compelling evidence that brain criticality—a dynamic balance between neural excitation and ...

A powerful pulsed laser beam was directed at one side of the head, with a detector placed on the other side. Only a few ...

Dr. Tsompanidis added: "Our hypothesis puts pregnancy at the heart of our story as a species. The human brain is remarkable and unique, but it does not develop in a vacuum.

In 1979, psychologist James Gibson coined the term affordances, describing how objects invite action. The new Amsterdam work places that idea squarely in the living human brain. Participants lay in a ...

All-TNNs better approximate spatial biases in human visual behavior. Credit: Nature Human Behaviour (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41562-025-02220-7 Deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks ...

Unlike other primates, humans are exposed to high levels of placental sex hormones in the womb, which may have shaped our ...

For decades, scientists have tried to peer deep inside the human brain using beams of harmless near-infrared light. The technique, called functional near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, has become a ...
