It took 10 years, around 500 scientists and some €600 million, and now the Human Brain Project — one of the biggest research endeavours ever funded by the European Union — is coming to an end. Its ...

The European Commission (EC) has released the 10-year assessment of the Human Brain Project (HBP), an EU-Flagship initiative that concluded in 2023. The report was authored by a panel of independent ...

An AI model trained on individual brain scans predicted how people would behave on cognitive tasks with over 90% accuracy, then ran virtual experiments on the brain model to see how targeted changes ...

How does Alzheimer’s target specific brain cells? Researchers are building a multiscale model of the hippocampus to map neuronal loss and cognitive decline.

A new technique to detect brain metastases in mice could assist preclinical investigations of the brain and other organs in human patients. Developed by the NanoBRIGHT project consortium, the new ...

What if the future of AI wasn’t just faster, but smarter, more efficient, and inspired by the very organ that powers human thought? Enter China’s new Spiking Brain model, a innovative leap in ...

Since the publication of the Human Genome Project, researchers have expanded the field of genomics to probe deeper into the underpinnings of human biology and disease, including studies of the body’s ...
