Living human neurons were trained to play Doom, extending the long-running engineering benchmark into biological computing.

Researchers at Australian start-up Cortical Labs have taught human neurons grown on a chip to play the classic Doom game. In 2021, they had already used 800,000 neurons to play Pong. Now, with four ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

The brain is the most complicated organ in the human body. With billions of cells that create trillions of connections to allow an individual to move, think, and remember, many of its innerworkings ...

"If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, the Doom guy shoots." The post Researchers Get Human Brain Cells Running Doom ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...
