Combining microscopy, scanning, and deep learning enables more precise imaging of functional dynamics in neural networks of human cortical organoids.

The researchers found that specific neurons increased their electrical firing rate just before certain components of speech, ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)—even mild concussions—may trigger a chain reaction in the brain that disrupts neuronal ...

For decades, textbooks told students the human brain contained 100 billion neurons. That figure, repeated so often it became ...

For the first time, researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and Amsterdam UMC have identified what happens in neural networks deep within the brain during obsessive thoughts and ...

By mimicking how the brain operates, neuromorphic computing can use dramatically less energy than conventional electronic AI ...

Designing materials that steer light is a slow kind of trial and error. Each candidate structure must be tested in computer ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

In a world saturated with stories—from ancient myths to TikTok clips—narratives knit together emotion, memory, and meaning. A new study in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that how a story is told ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University have identified a previously unrecognized mechanism by which structural changes in the ...
