While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

Some people in their 80s have memories as sharp as those of people decades younger.

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

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 with surprising ...

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 ...

Once thought to play a supporting function in the brain, new research shows non-neuronal astroglial cells perform a leading role in regulating the activity of neurons and their connections. In 2019, ...

Scientists grew 8,00,000 human neurons in a laboratory, connected them to a Pong game, and watched them learn the video game in five minutes with no body, no senses, and no past. The DishBrain ...
