In the world of medical research, few journeys feel as personal and urgent as that of Dr. Alexander W. Charney. His career began with curiosity, but patient care reshaped it into a mission. A recent ...

It's an extremely ambitious goal. The post Scientists Preparing to Simulate Human Brain on Supercomputer appeared first on ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

Predicting how molecular changes affect the brain’s overall activity is a major challenge in neuroscience. Many deep questions about the brain can only be understood by looking at several layers of ...

Europe and the U.S. are locked in a battle of the brains. A year and a half ago, the EU announced the Human Brain Project, a billion-dollar initiative to map the mysteries of the human mind. A few ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

Since the publication of the Human Genome Project, researchers have expanded the field of genomics to probe deeper into the underpinnings of human biology and disease, including studies of the body’s ...
