Artificial brains are far in the future, but computer chips that work like brains could keep computers advancing when today's silicon transistor chips reach their limit.

"Organoids" let researchers watch brain development to find new info about the earliest stages of Angelman syndrome, a complex genetic disorder.

Decades of research have shown that the brain does not yield its secrets easily.

An enzyme called chondroitinase ABC that regrows damaged nerve tissue in animals has been too unstable for human use. New work could change things.

Harvard neuroscientists look at how movement influences vision and perception.

Evidence that fat-burning neurons can grow in response to leptin suggests a potential way to promote weight loss, say researchers.

There could be ways to speed up biological clocks, researchers say. That could be help people adapt to the time change associated with long distance travel.

Brains recognize a smell based on which cells fire, in what order – the same way you recognize a song based on its pattern of notes. How much can you change the 'tune' and still know the smell?
