The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Going by his words, understanding the human brain is far more complex than comprehending the entire solar system. Veteran ...

The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

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

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

Rock-paper-scissors is usually a game of psychology, reverse psychology, reverse-reverse psychology, and chance. But what if a computer could understand you well enough to win every time? A team at ...

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal transmission between neurons and memory formation in the brain. This study is ...

Filippo Beleggia, MD, PhD, didn’t believe his own data. As a postdoctoral researcher, he spent years in the laboratory of Christian Reinhardt, MD, PhD, at the University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, ...

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 ...

Recently the [Global Science Network] released a video of using an artificial brain to control an RC truck. The video shows a neural network comprised of eight artificial neurons assembled on ...
