Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz have trained lab-grown brain organoids to solve a goal-directed task, ...

Imagine balancing a ruler upright in the palm of the hand: There is a need to continually pay attention to the angle of the ...

A few blobs of lab-grown brain tissue have demonstrated a striking proof of concept: living neural circuits can be nudged toward solving a classic control problem through carefully structured feedback ...

Scientists have traditionally studied how the brain controls movement by asking patients to perform structured tasks while connected to multiple sensors in a lab. While these studies have provided ...

Such brain organoids, lab-grown clusters of human brain cells, are used to study conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, ...

A tiny version of a developing cerebral cortex – a brain region involved in thinking, memory and problem-solving – has been ...

Reply [EXM, STAR: REY] today announced the start of a collaboration with the Department of Pathophysiology and Transplantation of the University of Milan, together with the "Centro Dino Ferrari" of ...

Just when you thought the circular deals couldn’t get any more circular, OpenAI has invested in CEO Sam Altman’s brain computer interface (BCI) startup Merge Labs. Merge Labs, which defines itself as ...

At first glance, the idea sounds implausible: a computer made not of silicon, but of living brain cells. It’s the kind of concept that seems better suited to science fiction than to a laboratory bench ...

It’s been more than a decade since scientists first started publishing papers on neural organoids, the small clusters of cells grown in labs and designed to mimic various parts of the human brain.
