New research from the University of Wyoming reveals that the brain cells that control hunger may be far more adaptable during prenatal brain development than scientists previously believed. This ...

Some older adults with exceptional memory grow far more new neurons in the hippocampus, while Alzheimer’s brains show almost ...

A new study suggests AI systems could be a lot more efficient. Researchers were able to shrink an AI vision model to 1/1000th ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte, and for a long time, scientists thought its job was caretaking the brain, ...

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement ...

Using the age-old medium of Doom, boffins just gave us a look into our cyborg future by making the game run on wetware ...

The brain's immune system is getting attention at the Society for Neuroscience in Chicago. A lot of research is now focused on the interaction of neurons, glial cells and other immune cells. There's a ...

A couple of years ago, a company called Cortical Labs released a video that showed a simplified version of Pong being played by a culture of human neurons in a Petri dish. The idea that a bunch of ...
