They're more than a simple clock, and understanding these cells' activity could ultimately aid in early detection of neurodegenerative diseases. A sense of time is fundamental to how we understand, ...

A team of researchers from the University of Rochester, Yale University, and Princeton University has made a big stride in neuroscience. They have shown a method to induce learning through the direct ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to analyze medical images, materials data and scientific measurements, but ...

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

Many neurons exhibit 'mixed selectivity,' meaning they can integrate multiple inputs and participate in multiple computations. Mechanisms such as oscillations and neuromodulators recruit their ...

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

W hat is generative AI doing to us? That’s a question on everyone’s minds, driven by the fear that the technology is damaging our ability to think. The internet exploded when researchers from the ...

Teachers are increasingly encouraged to become amateur neuroscientists. For the last decade, educational materials have promoted neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity for adaptation, as the key to ...

Aging may come with its fair share of physical changes, but your brain doesn’t stop evolving just because you’ve hit 40. In fact, learning a new skill in your 40s or later can do more than just pass ...

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
