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

A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

To map the mammalian brain and its various functions with increasing precision, neuroscientists rely on high-resolution imaging techniques and other advanced experimental tools. These include ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Scientists have discovered how stress can lead to serious mental health problems. To better understand the function of type I ...

Researchers Matthew Golub, Belle Liu, and Jacob Sacks at the Paul G. Allen School for Computer Science & Engineering, have ...

Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...
