In 2024, researchers completed the first-ever map of the circuitry of a fruit fly’s brain. Despite its diminutive size, the organ packs almost 500 feet of wiring and 54.5 million synapses into the ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Imagine a future where your phone, computer or even a tiny wearable device can think and learn like the human brain -- processing information faster, smarter and using less energy. A breakthrough ...

A new open-source model of brain metabolism—the most complex ever generated—has shown how altering key chemicals could restore aged cells to their youthful activity and resilience. The researchers, ...
