USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

Using a speck of mouse brain matter the size of a grain of sand, scientists have created the first precise, three-dimensional map of a mammal’s brain. The map details the form, function and activity ...

A breakthrough in neuromorphic computing could lower the energy consumption of chips and accelerate progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of En ...

Fiber-optic technology revolutionized the telecommunications industry and may soon do the same for brain research.

In a dark MRI scanner outside Tokyo, a volunteer watches a video of someone hurling themselves off a waterfall. Nearby, a ...

In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells directly into brain cells extremely efficiently, without needing to go ...

A University of Alberta research team has discovered a new function for brain molecules known as gangliosides, offering ...

Neurons in the brain communicate with each other through synapses—connection points that allow the passage of electrical and chemical signals. In non-neuronal cells, direct cell-to-cell connections ...

Scientists have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. A team of researchers discovered which chemicals influence the signals ...

Couldn't eat another bite, but definitely have room for a slice or two of that oh-so-moist triple chocolate ganache cake? This is the paradox of the "dessert stomach." A new study from the Max Planck ...
