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 ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

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

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

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 ...

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

An international team of researchers led by the Francis Crick Institute, working with the Paul Scherrer Institute, has developed a new imaging protocol to capture mouse brain cell connections in ...

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

Imagine watching a conversation between brain cells, seeing chemical messages pass from one neuron to another. Scientists can ...

Neurodegenerative diseases remain some of the most difficult conditions to treat. Disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s gradually destroy brain cells, leaving people with worsening memory, ...
