A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend recommended or read the latest world news, your brain stores many of these ...

In two separate studies, researchers learned more about the way that our brains respond to music. One study found that brain neurons synchronize with musical rhythms, while the other showed how ...
