A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes - think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke - ...

Figure 1: Odour-outcome association task in mice. To classify these response profiles, we used principal component analysis (PCA) followed by unsupervised, hierarchical clustering. This yielded three ...

Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz have discovered that while brain neuron changes, including cell loss, may ...

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, ...

Like ivy plants that send runners out searching for something to cling to, the brain’s neurons send out shoots that connect with other neurons throughout the organ. A new digital reconstruction method ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Nerve cells, or neurons, are the basic functional units of the nervous system. Multiple interconnected neurons form a neural circuit and ...

Researchers have unveiled a breakthrough technology that could transform the way scientists build and study lab-grown brain ...
