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

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 ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...

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

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

Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before ...

Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages ...

Neurodegenerative diseases remain some of the most difficult conditions to treat. Disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s gradually destroy brain cells, leaving people with worsening memory, ...

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