They gave it something much smaller — a tiny stretch of human DNA known as HARE5. And in return, the mouse grew a brain about 6.5% bigger than its peers. The tweak was minuscule.

Specifically, they found that this tiny DNA region can influence how neural progenitor cells—early-stage cells that later become neurons—multiply and develop. This is important because the human ...

But there was some missing piece that just wasn't there yet. So living intelligence is now the missing piece that helps a lot of these start to, to, to to launch and to scale.

Understanding human intelligence, here we come.Scientists have mapped an unprecedentedly large portion of the brain of a mouse. The cubic millimeter worth of brain tissue represents the largest ...

From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

Next, scientists at the Allen Institute analysed that small piece of brain tissue, using a special tool to shave it into more than 25,000 layers, each far thinner than a human hair.

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section of a mammalian brain. This feat, part of the MICrONS Project, rivals the ...

The human brain is currently way beyond even the best AI models in terms of how quickly and efficiently it can process information, and research like this gives us a better idea why. It's also a ...
