New research shows AI language models mirror how the human brain builds meaning over time while listening to natural speech.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

By tracking brain activity as people listened to a spoken story, researchers found that the brain builds meaning step by step ...

Your brain is wrinkled like a walnut, and those wrinkles aren't just for show. Each fold increases the amount of surface area ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow ...

When a curious raccoon broke into an Ashland, Virginia, liquor store in December 2025, sampled the stock and passed out on ...
