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 ...

Artificial intelligence has made simulation theory easier to imagine. A computer can now produce a recognizable face that ...

A human biologist told Newsweek that Alzheimer's research should stop focusing on one molecule and study the wider system.

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 ...

Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most detailed biophysically realistic brain simulations of an animal ever. Subscribe ...

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, ...

Like the lunar landing, the mapping of the familiar fruit fly in 2024—bane of humid groceries and kitchen cringe—represents a major accomplishment. Other creatures have been mapped, but Mr. Fly is so ...

At the intersection of data science, neuroscience, and AI, researchers say personalized brain simulations could reshape medicine — if science and society can keep pace. University of Virginia School ...

That is why, when we simulate the brain, we have to take this 'experienced brain' into account and try and reflect that. According to Kathinka Evers, leader of the Ethics and Society part of the Human ...
