Neural organoids have been heralded as having huge potential for advancing our knowledge of the brain in several fields. These include exploring the responses of brain tissue to drugs, investigating ...

Imagine a horse stumbling on a rock. It regains momentum, then hits bumpier terrain and slows to a walk. Back on steady ground, the horse picks up its pace to catch up with the herd. How is the horse ...

Can living neurons replace AI? A new study shows that biological neural networks (BNNs) can be trained to perform reservoir ...

A schematic of the stimuli seen by the mouse after vision onset in a virtual corridor rich with optic flow, created using a 3D animation software and used as the training dataset (Methods 4.1.4). The ...

Chinese researchers have developed a high-density, 1,024-channel neural probe, achieving a full-depth recording of neuronal activities in the brain of a macaque monkey for the first time in the world.

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate the organization and functioning of networks of neurons in the brain.

A collaborative research group has shown that biological neurons can be trained to perform a temporal pattern learning task ...

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 ...
