Scientists say a new kind of AI could bridge the gap between current systems and machines that learn and think more like us.

Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, ...

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive ...

A new Yale study has revealed that neurons — the energy-hungry cells that connect and direct activity in the brain — are equipped with “backup batteries” that kick in to keep the brain running during ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and ...
