While mice age differently than humans, this comparison roughly mirrors the differences between young adult and older adult human brains. Non-neuronal brain cells called tanycytes illuminated and ...

Researchers outline a bold strategy to scale neuromorphic computing, aiming to match human brain functionality with minimal energy use. This involves developing advanced neuromorphic chips and ...

“If you think about what we might expect humans to accomplish in an area like biology in 100 years, I think a doubling of the human lifespan is not at all crazy,” he said yesterday (Jan ...

The most striking characteristic of this previously unknown human ancestor? An extremely large brain that’s bigger than that of our species, Homo sapiens, the only surviving hominin. The feature ...
