Aug 29, 2022 · New study adds an important piece to the puzzle of human brain evolution, explaining why humans are more cognitively advanced than other animals. Scientists are a step closer to understanding the question of how information is processed in the human brain that has long intrigued scientists.
Dec 4, 2023 · Many neuroscientists suspect that changes to the pattern of connections are more important for the development of human cognition than anything as crude as the brain's volume.
May 12, 2024 · Have you ever wondered how your brain creates thoughts or why something randomly popped into your head? It may seem like magic – but actually the brain is like a supercomputer inside your head that helps you think, learn and make decisions.
Jul 1, 2013 · Across nearly seven million years, the human brain has tripled in size, with most of this growth occurring in the past two million years. Determining brain changes over time is tricky.
Jul 7, 2020 · Neuroscience. What makes the human brain special? That question is not easy to answer—and will occupy neuroscientists for generations to come. But a few tentative responses can already be...

Mar 27, 2014 · The human brain contains about 100 billion neurons, more than 100,000 km of interconnections, and has an estimated storage capacity of 1.25 × 10 12 bytes (Cherniak, 1990; Hofman, 2012). These impressive numbers have led to the idea that our cognitive capabilities are virtually without limit.
