Researchers have confirmed the existence of an odd type of brain cell that other neuroscientists once thought might be only a technical quirk or error.

Artificial intelligence can produce music that sounds similar to tunes people were listening to as they had their brains scanned, a collaborative study from Google and Osaka University shows.

An upcoming resupply mission to the International Space Station will include stem cells destined to be grown into tiny, 3D models of the human brain.
