There is a tendency to picture computers as cold, precise things, sealed away in clean rooms and humming quietly under desks.

Long before memory problems appear, your brain may already be losing neurons. That is the unsettling message from new work by ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

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, ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert ...

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

A new study suggests that how neurons process energy may determine whether they resist damage or begin to break down.

Imagine watching a conversation between brain cells, seeing chemical messages pass from one neuron to another. Scientists can ...

Mice have remained the focal point for life sciences research for the past several decades. Their universality in biomedicine ...

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

A drug used for 30 years to treat a variety of conditions may also improve cognition and halt neuron death in Alzheimer's.
