When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...

Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the ...

Researchers identify five specific neuron subgroups in the motor cortex most vulnerable to TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers has programmed these infomorphic neurons and constructed artificial ...

The kick-off signal for puberty begins in the brain. Specifically, in the hypothalamus, where specific neurons release a ...

Once thought to play a supporting function in the brain, new research published in Science shows non-neuronal astroglial cells perform a leading role in regulating the activity of neurons and their ...

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in ...

Imagine you're navigating a city like New York, or any other that's laid out on a grid. Suppose you run into a roadblock as you're heading north. How do you know that you can turn to your left, say, ...

In a recent study published in Nature, scientists found that elderly adults known as super-agers had about twice as many ...
