A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Alzheimer’s disease has long looked like a slow-motion wildfire, starting in one part of the brain and then advancing along ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators worked with a multi-institutional team to develop a new artificial intelligence framework that can accurately, quickly and efficiently create virtual models of brain neurons ...

Humans have the remarkable ability to remember the same person or object in completely different situations. We can easily ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...
