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

Brain activity is known to be rife with oscillatory activity in different frequencies, which are suggested to be associated with intra-brain communication. However, the specific role of frequencies in ...

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 ...

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

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

Cells have surface receptors that couple with proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors. Typically, the number of these receptors increases as the cell matures, but ...

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

A new study of bilingual speakers suggests that a single “grammatical engine” in the brain can power multiple languages at ...

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

Ozempic was supposed to be a gut story. Then Allison Shapiro looked at the brain scans. Within only a few months, the brain connections in the salience network, which helps target attention, had ...

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 ...

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