An Adelaide University study has revealed that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) found in tap water, at levels currently considered safe, affected the development of embryos, causing ...

Reviving a frozen brain sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, but a new study gives clues to how scientists might one day do that. Researchers in Germany managed to freeze mouse-brain tissue in ...

Clumps of mouse brain cells about the size of peppercorns can gain the knowhow to perform a virtual circus trick. With some coaching, these mouse brain organoids learned to keep a pole upright on a ...

Put “Alien” on standby — because science may be inching a tiny step closer to real-life cryosleep. In a breakthrough that sounds ripped straight from a Ridley Scott flick, researchers in Germany have ...

Age changes the brain, but why some people remain mentally sharp well into their dotage while others don’t is a bit of a mystery. Part of the answer may have to do with genetics, but now a new study ...

Scientists have successfully reconstructed videos purely from the brain activity of mice, showing what the mice were seeing, in a new study led by University College London (UCL) researchers. The ...

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...

The maternal microbiome and immune system have both independent and synergistic effects on fetal brain health—changes in the mother's immune system have been linked to an increased risk of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists showed that it’s possible to reproduce an entire cerebral cortex inside one of the world’s fastest computers. The model represents the ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...
