FROM Jane Austen to Albert Einstein, Zaha Hadid to Ai Weiwei, it is easy to name people who have advanced the thinking of humankind – but it is much harder to explain why people like this think ...

Self-organizing brain organoids connected to microelectrode arrays (MEAs) can be changed in function to create neural networks. These networks, called organoid neural networks (ONNs), show the ...

One of the key breakthroughs is the creation of an in-vitro model of neural networks. This model mimics the brain's conditions, allowing researchers to study how neurons form memories and make ...

The brain, they realized, was a kind of cellular machine, says Christian, "with the pulse or its absence signifying on or off, yes or no, true or false. This was really the birthplace of neural ...

But there has been a clear path of improvement in developing neural networks that behave like the brain, and progress is only going to accelerate. I think that in 20 years we will have made ...

Now, scientists at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have printed living neural networks composed of rat brain cells that seem to mature and communicate like real brains do. Researchers ...
