Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

DNA, the genetic blueprints in every living organism, is nature's most efficient storage mechanism, capable of storing about ...

Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...

A striking comparison between the scale of the human brain and the ambitions of artificial intelligence research is sparking conversation across the tech community, after industry commentator Aakash ...

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...
