Survival of the fittest often means survival of the fastest. But the fastest doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest moving. It might mean the fastest thinking. When faced with the approach of a powerful ...

Brain organoids – 3-D balls of brain-like tissue grown in the lab, often from human stem cells – have been touted for their potential to let scientists study the formation of the brain’s complex ...

DFMSim, maker of simulation software used to design and complex integrated circuitry systems, has brought in $368,000 of a targeted $5 million round of equity and securities, according to a filing ...

New human and animal studies released today uncover the extensive brain wiring used in communication and provide new insights into how the brain processes and produces language, accents, and sounds.

As designers continue to propose ever-smaller, ever-more-complex circuits, the demands on inspection equipment push the limits of what today's cameras can provide. Bruce Butkus, product line engineer ...

Does the nervous system come with instructions for how it should connect to the body or must it figure this out during early development? A new model from researchers at the University of Southern ...

Complex brain circuits in rodents can organize themselves with genetics playing only a secondary role, according to a new computer modelling study published today in eLife. The findings help answer a ...

The circuits of the human brain contain more than 100 billion neurons, each linked to many other neurons via thousands of synaptic connections, resulting in a three-pound organ that is profoundly more ...

A new study offers a more restrained perspective on brain organoids suggested for lab experiments, by showing that widely used organoid models fail to replicate even basic features of brain ...
