A new study led by Monash University researchers has shed light on the factors shaping the intricate wiring of our brains.

Nothing rivals the human brain's complexity. Its 86 billion neurons and 85 billion other cells make an estimated 100 trillion connections. If the brain were a computer, it would perform an exaflop (a ...

The researchers integrated measures of both brain structure and function to enable a more precise characterization of the human brain. Rather than identifying intelligence with a particular cognitive ...

These short anomaly-detection puzzles are designed to illustrate how reasoning often depends on identifying inconsistencies ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. The brain is unimaginably complex. Google and Harvard recently announced ...

How does a single cell build a brain with billions of precisely organized neurons? Researchers suggest that brain cells use ...

The human brain is constantly flooded with sights, sounds and sensations, yet only a fraction of those experiences become lasting memories. Behind that quiet sorting process is a set of biological ...

A new study suggests that learning and remembering speech relies more on how the brain processes sounds and sensations than on the areas that control mouth and face movements. The discovery could ...

Large language models, often called LLMs, usually help write emails, answer questions, and summarize documents. A new neuroscience study suggests they may also hint at how your own brain understands ...
