(Natural News) Researchers from Kyoto University in Japan have developed functioning cerebral organoids. These mini-brains were artificially-grown from stem cells. These 3D tissue cultures are the first of their kind to contain functional neural networks. These cerebral organoids do not have sensory input and cannot “think” on their own; however, according to Japanese researchers, these […]

(Natural News) Regular exercise has been linked to numerous health benefits, but its connection to semantic memory is largely unexplored. Researchers from the University of Maryland found that a single session of exercise has positive effects on parts of the brain associated with memory. They published their findings in the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society. […]

(Natural News) Insects may be simple, and in terms of intellectual capability, they will never be able to match humans, but they do have brains. They can definitely learn, as moths do when getting acquainted with new scents. But did you know that even moths can be smarter than today’s standard level of artificial intelligence? They are […]

(Natural News) Danish researchers have found that chemotherapy can alter the brain’s network and impair memory. The study, a collaborative effort between Aarhus University School of Business and Social Science and Aarhus University Hospital, is the first to look at the neural impact of chemotherapy on testicular cancer patients. To come to this conclusion, the […]

(Natural News) A research project that was conducted by a team of researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, California that was titled A Statistical Description of Plant Shoot Architecture and was published in the journal Current Biology, concluded that plants grow very similarly like neurons in the human brain. Saket […]
