Modeling the functionality of the human brain is a major goal in neuroscience for which many powerful methodologies have been developed over the last decade. The impact of working memory and the ...

Whole-brain models have proven to be useful to understand the emergence of collective activity among neural populations or brain regions. These models combine connectivity matrices, or connectomes, ...

EPFL researchers have developed a powerful method to generate brain-wide, biologically realistic wiring maps of the mouse brain. Their approach bridges experimental data with mathematical and ...

Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most detailed biophysically realistic brain simulations of an animal ever. This ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists showed that it’s possible to reproduce an entire cerebral cortex inside one of the world’s fastest computers. The model represents the ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

'Brain-in-a-jar' biocomputers can now learn to control robots Living brain cells wired into organoid-on-a-chip biocomputers can now learn to drive robots, thanks to an open-source intelligent ...

Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly's visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

In the world of medical research, few journeys feel as personal and urgent as that of Dr. Alexander W. Charney. His career began with curiosity, but patient care reshaped it into a mission. A recent ...
