Detecting photons through an entire adult head explores the limits of photon transport in the brain, for access to regions of the brain currently inaccessible with noninvasive optical brain imaging.

There are lots of situations where getting a look at the human brain can be very helpful. Unfortunately, our heads are famously opaque, so decades of research and development have gone into finding ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

Rogier Mars receives funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) UK and the Medical Research Council (MRC) UK. Katherine Bryant does not work for, consult, own ...

Human head transplants are also known as cephalosomatic anastomosis, and at the moment, are not actually possible and likely won't be before 2030. Some researchers have tested a human head transplant ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

Scientists at the University of Amsterdam discovered that our brains automatically understand how we can move through different environments—whether it's swimming in a lake or walking a path—without ...
