Siri and Watson may seem brainy in certain situations, but to build truly smart, world-changing machines, researchers must understand how human intelligence emerges from brain activity.

A new model of memory — and a little-heralded type of brain cell — might explain why the human brain has such a huge storage capacity, researchers reported in the journal PNAS in May. The study looks ...

Neuroscientists in China have made a breakthrough in combating depression and other mental health disorders by growing dopamine neurons from human pluripotent stem cells that can target specific brain ...
