Scientists mapped brain activity across the day and found the same neurons create completely different networks depending on ...

Understanding the shape or morphology of neurons and mapping the tree-like branches via which they receive signals from other ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

Some artificial intelligence models can already resemble the human brain even before having learned anything. This surprising ...

A new study probing quantum phenomena in neurons as they transmit messages in the brain could provide fresh insight into how our brains function. Our brains process information via a vast network ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

By rewiring a fruit fly brain, researchers have identified attractive and repulsive molecules that drive brain circuit ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

We've all experienced defeat at some point – losing a game, a potential new job, a debate. Now, a new study has found that the brain may learn from losing to others, with a specific group of neurons ...

The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across ...
