Research reveals why Alzheimer’s brain damage doesn’t always lead to dementia, highlighting the role of protective brain ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

Melbourne-based Cortical Labs is working at the cutting edge of biological computing.

Learn about the five pillars of healthy brain aging and the latest research on cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, and ...

Fish oil has long been praised as brain-boosting, but new research suggests the story may be more complicated. Scientists found that in people with repeated mild head injuries, a key omega-3 fatty ...

I n February Cortical Labs, an Australian startup, announced that a programmer had taught one of its “biological ...

No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...
