Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

Talking to yourself feels deeply human. Inner speech helps you plan, reflect, and solve problems without saying a word. New research suggests that this habit may also help machines learn more like you ...

The human mind is turning out to be far stranger and more intricate than the tidy diagrams in old biology textbooks ever suggested. A wave of new research is revealing hidden layers in the brain’s ...

Sometimes in the rush to explore our interactions with neural nets (often in the form of LLMs) we forget to think about our own operating system and how it works. Of course, scientists did spend a lot ...
