A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, researchers hope that the models will contribute to ...

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 ...

A French startup named Robeauté has just raised about $29 million to develop a truly groundbreaking neurosurgical microrobot. Imagine a device no bigger than a grain of rice that can carefully ...

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, ...

Brain aneurysm clipping surgery is used to prevent or treat a ruptured aneurysm, a life threatening emergency. A brain aneurysm is a bulging area of a blood vessel in your brain. If a brain aneurysm ...

Treating brain diseases is extraordinarily challenging, because drugs often work poorly and implants require risky surgery that can jeopardize critical brain functions. A group at MIT has sought a ...

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built by scientists from the University of Surrey. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, ...
