The cerebellum (which is Latin for ‘little brain’) is the area of the brain in charge of fine motor coordination and balance, and it keeps our movements smooth and stable by predicting what our next ...

For the first time, a team of researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National ...

In a little over ten years, organoid models—miniature, lab-grown clusters of cells that imitate real organs—have transformed how we study human development and disease while accelerating drug ...

Since 2007, Jezebel has been the Internet's most treasured source for everything celebrities, sex, and politics...with teeth.

Located in the middle of the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest continent, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. To visit it and marvel at the ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

It used to be thought that sea urchins only had a primitive nervous system, but new research has found that they are far more complex than that. The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are ...

Researchers have developed a powerful new software toolbox that allows realistic brain models to be trained directly on data. This open-source framework, called JAXLEY, combines the precision of ...

Advancing neurological disorder research requires model systems that more accurately reflect the human brain. 3D cell cultures, such as organoids and spheroids, have emerged as game-changers by better ...

AI models may be a bit like humans, after all. A new study from the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M, and Purdue University shows that large language models fed a diet of popular but ...

European roboticists today released a powerful open-source artificial intelligence model that acts as a brain for industrial robots—helping them grasp and manipulate things with new dexterity. The new ...

When doctors review brain scans, each detail of the picture—each pixel or voxel—must be painstakingly labeled. The cerebral cortex, hippocampus, ventricles, and other structures all need to be marked ...
