Cortical Labs, a startup based in Australia, has developed what it describes as a "code-deployable biological computer." Called CL1, the technology is a type of synthetic biological intelligence ...

The brain's immune system has long been thought to exist independently from the rest of the body, complete with its own ...

Scientists have discovered that the aging human brain may be far less isolated from the rest of the body than once believed. Stanford researchers found that large numbers of immune cells from the ...

The Challenge with BCIs: Inflammation, scarring, and programmed cell death undermine performance over time Implantable electrodes within the brain have enabled remarkable achievements—e.g., paralyzed ...

One of the central mysteries of the brain is how it achieves so much with so little. At any given moment, it processes an entire world of input, pilots a body and generates conscious experience—all ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

A new study reveals peripheral blood cells enter the aging human brain and convert into microglia, unlocking new Alzheimer's ...

A research team from the School of Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has achieved a breakthrough in brain imaging by developing the world's first technology to ...
