People cannot reliably tell whether a text is produced by a human or a machine — but subconscious neural activity reveals the true identity.
Uncovering a new language in the brain
A group of brain cells called astrocytes might be involved in how information is conveyed within the brain’s neural networks.
Why do our brains prioritize emotional memory?
Understanding how our brain regulates emotional memory could help treat disorders such as depression or PTSD.
Building a model brain using microfluidics and brain organoids
To mimic the the interconnected structure of the brain, model organoids can be connected together into larger assemblies.
Our brains use visual information to recognize a voice
A new study has shown that the facial recognition areas of the brain play a role in the recognition of famous voices.
Scientists discover a new protective layer in the brain
The newly discovered layer has an almost imperceptible width, allowing it to escape the notice of older imaging and experimental techniques.
Can art help us understand our own brain?
The exhibition Brain(s) uses artistic installations to explore unanswered questions and the relationship between science and culture.
New blood test to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease via brain-derived protein
A sensitive blood test has been developed to detect a protein biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease known as brain-derived tau.
Artificial neural networks made from memristors for brain-inspired computing
Artificial neural networks made from domain walls mimic synapses and neurons in the brain for neuromorphic computers.
Mapping the octopus brain
Understanding how a completely different neural structure achieves the same function as the human brain opens up possibilities for designing new types of AI systems.
