For Martin Schrimpf, the promise of artificial intelligence is not in the tasks it can accomplish. It’s in what AI might reveal about human intelligence. He is working to build a “digital twin” of the ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

MIT scientists have developed a new 3D human brain tissue model that could change how researchers study neurological diseases. The platform, called Multicellular Integrated Brains or miBrains, ...

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.

Scientists have developed the largest and most detailed computational models of rat hippocampal and somatosensory cortex regions to date. They have released these models and the tools for their use to ...

The Cleveland Clinic is partnering with San Francisco–based startup Piramidal to develop a large-scale AI model that will be used to monitor patients’ brain health in intensive care units. Instead of ...

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 ...

What just happened? Working with international researchers, Meta has announced major milestones in understanding human intelligence through two groundbreaking studies: they have created AI models that ...
