Neuralink’s Blindsight implant has received FDA breakthrough status, aiming to restore sight by stimulating the visual cortex ...

When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers ...

A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

Conversations about the differences between girls and boys—and between women and men—often make people uneasy. Some fear that ...

When families share thoughts, information, and ideas and ask for and receive advice, they are building personal and social ...

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

For generations, adults with amblyopia were told their vision loss was permanent, a childhood problem that medicine could not meaningfully reverse later in life. A new wave of research from MIT and ...

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 ...

Salk scientists discovered the protein CCN1—secreted by non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes—stabilizes brain circuits in adulthood. The CCN1 pathway may be a powerful target for therapeutics ...

Imagine watching a conversation between brain cells, seeing chemical messages pass from one neuron to another. Scientists can ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...
