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

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 ...

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

MRI signals don’t always match the brain’s true activity levels, overturning a core assumption used in tens of thousands of studies.

Intermittent fasting has moved far beyond a weight loss trend, with early evidence hinting that time restricted eating may ...

Using lab-grown brain tissue, researchers uncovered complex patterns of neural signaling that differ subtly between healthy ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

New research suggests that the way brain networks reorganize moment-to-moment predicts autism severity. Children who spent ...
