Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought that they are settled into one subtype once they develop from stem cells, ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

A figure from the research paper shows that both the model and experimental animals learned a task at a very similar pace. A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and ...

In a new study, researchers created an AI model of the mouse visual cortex that predicts neuronal responses to visual images. Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists ...

Scientists have developed the largest and most detailed computational models of rat hippocampal and somatosensory cortex regions to date. They have released these models and the tools for their use to ...
