Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

AI is ultimately a story about selfhood—and the answer will not be found in the machine, but in what mindful awareness allows ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

Poetiq was launched last year by former Google DeepMind researchers Shumeet Baluja and Ian Fischer. Baluja established the Alphabet unit’s computer vision group, while Fischer helped develop some of ...

At the core of the initiative is the CL1 biological computer developed by Cortical Labs, an Australian biotechnology company.

CBS News has significantly expanded its knowledge base and on-air presence with the addition of 19 new contributors who cover ...
