Scientists reconstructed videos from the brain activity of mice, producing 10-second clips based only on signals from neurons in the visual cortex. The breakthrough could help reveal how the brain ...

For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine reveals that what we call the brain is two distinct organs that evolved ...

The discovery could help scientists advance research into conditions including Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease, and spinal muscular atrophy Getty Scientists at ...

Destructive immune cells tied to Alzheimer’s disease may get their marching orders from cells outside the brain rather than within it. In mice, suppressing a small population of immune cells located ...

This creature doesn’t think the way we do—because it doesn’t have just one brain. With 9 brains and 3 hearts, it can process information across its entire body, even controlling each arm independently ...
