A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category ...

New research from the University of St Andrews, the University of Copenhagen and Drexel University has developed AI ...

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

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

In a nutshell, string theory is a sprawling realm of theoretical physics that assumes that tiny vibrating strings are the ...

Two proteins found on the surface of motor neurons in the brain may be essential in the progression of Parkinson's disease, according to new Yale School of Medicine (YSM) research.

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Most cell surface proteins did not. But 16 did, including two found in the human dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra, a ...

Specifically, a molecule released by immune cells during the inflammatory response, called interferon-gamma (IFNγ), triggers long-term change in how neurons regulate their genes that, without killing ...
