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.

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

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

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

An interactive toolbox for standardizing, validating, simulating, reducing, and exploring detailed biophysical models that can be used to reveal how morpho-electric properties map to dendritic and ...

Scientists have discovered how stress can lead to serious mental health problems. To better understand the function of type I ...

“Expression tells us what cells do, but regulatory DNA tells us where they come from, how they develop, and which germ layer ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

For more than a century, brain imaging has been a story of trade-offs: sharp pictures but slow timing, or fast signals with ...
