Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...

A new technical paper, “Protonic nickelate device networks for spatiotemporal neuromorphic computing,” was published by researcher at UCSD and Rutgers University. Abstract “Computation in biological ...

Neuropathic pain is a devastating type of pain that significantly reduces the quality of life of affected people.

Researchers use AI "digital twins" to discover a new type of neuron in the visual cortex that perceives complex textures and object arrangements.

A Silicon Valley startup claims to have achieved a scientific milestone that could reshape the future of neuroscience and artificial intelligence: the first successful “virtual brain upload.” The ...

Consciousness emerges from the coordinated activity of neural circuits spanning multiple spatial scales, from synaptic signaling to large-scale cortical ...

Astrocytes in the cerebellum trigger a shift in GABA signaling during late adolescence, enabling adult-level motor coordination.

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...

Humans and many other animals can innately recognize familiar objects in their surroundings, irrespective of the angle they are observed from, changes in lighting or other shifts in the surrounding ...

In honor of Women’s History Month and the enduring impact of women in science, The Scientist invited readers to share the names of the female researchers who have inspired them most. From pioneering ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...

Human brain cells are now interacting with computer systems, learning to play video games like Doom. Researchers have successfully grown neurons on silicon chips, demonstrating a radical new form of ...
