New research suggests the human brain has five distinct ages, and it may not reach adulthood until a person's early 30s.

UC Santa Cruz research innovations and academic programs advance brain and mental health.

Princeton researchers found that the brain excels at learning because it reuses modular “cognitive blocks” across many tasks.

Artificial intelligence may write award-winning essays and diagnose disease with remarkable accuracy, but biological brains ...

Scientists are paving the way for an artificial nervous system for robotics, utilizing artificial neurons that replicate brain cell behavior.

Artificial intelligence may write award-winning essays and diagnose disease with remarkable accuracy, but biological brains still hold the upper hand in at least one crucial domain: flexibility.

New research reveals that the brain’s flexibility comes from its ability to reuse “cognitive building blocks” across many tasks, allowing rapid adaptation with minimal relearning.

Researchers around the world are racing to push computing into unfamiliar territory.

Human brains learn new tasks quickly by reusing mental building blocks, a flexibility scientists are now studying to improve ...
