Researchers have mapped deep brain regions that act as central communication hubs for the brain’s outer surface, identifying potential targets to help restore awareness in patients with severe brain ...

A handful of experiments are raising questions about whether clumps of cells and disembodied brains could be sentient, and how scientists would know if they were. In Alysson Muotri’s laboratory, ...

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like cerebral palsy. Ethicists ask if it changes how these mice should be treated.

Researchers at GWU are reporting that they've discovered the human consciousness on-off switch, deep within the brain. When this specific region of the brain, called the claustrum, is electrically ...

At its Latin roots, consciousness literally meant “knowing with.” This was a borrowing from an earlier Proto-Indo-European ...

This series delves into research by renowned medical doctors to explore profound questions about consciousness, existence, and what may lie beyond. “As a neurosurgeon, I was taught that the brain ...

Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast, "How Your Brain Works & Changes" [1], provides deep insights into how our nervous system ...

"Experiments to run AI using human brain cells are underway"—it sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but this is ...

Shortly before his death, the physicist Richard Feynman inscribed these legendary words onto a blackboard: “What I cannot create, I do not understand.” AI researchers have really taken this idea to ...

The prevailing consensus in neuroscience is that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain and its metabolism. When the brain dies, the mind and consciousness of the being to whom that brain ...
