Scientists have built a working simulation of an entire adult fruit fly brain and connected it to a physics-based virtual body, producing what amounts to a digital insect that can process sensory ...

Scientists have created a novel organoid model of the human brain that contains astrocytes -- which have been excluded from other models thus far -- to study inflammation in diseases like Alzheimer's.

An AI startup has built a virtual fruit fly powered by a digital brain model that drives real-like behaviour, hinting at ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

The European Commission (EC) has released the 10-year assessment of the Human Brain Project (HBP), an EU-Flagship initiative that concluded in 2023. The report was authored by a panel of independent ...

Credit: Tufts University. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measuring how light is absorbed by blood in the brain has become a key method for inferring brain activity. But in a fNIRS ...

Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly's visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

A new technique to detect brain metastases in mice could assist preclinical investigations of the brain and other organs in human patients. Developed by the NanoBRIGHT project consortium, the new ...

Since the publication of the Human Genome Project, researchers have expanded the field of genomics to probe deeper into the underpinnings of human biology and disease, including studies of the body’s ...
