Researchers have discovered that eight different psychiatric conditions share a common genetic basis. A study published in ...

A new study reveals how biological branching networks use surface geometry to shape blood vessels, brains, and plants.

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

Anyone exploring technological advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will inevitably encounter spiking neural networks (SNNs) — the next step toward energy‑efficient real‑time AI. The difference ...

If you have ever lifted a weight, you know the routine: challenge the muscle, give it rest, feed it and repeat. Over time, it ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and other biological networks look the way they do. The prevailing theory held ...

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

New brain imaging research shows grip strength is linked to activity deep in the aging brain, offering clues to early ...

Consciousness researchers studying “islands of awareness” have found that disconnected brains likely sink into a strange form ...

Sleep is one of life’s most universal behaviors. Despite its ubiquity, it’s also one of the most mysterious. Humans spend ...
