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

Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one has stopped using. Previously, this phenomenon was attributed to a decline ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

Cellular maturation involves transcriptional, metabolic, and physiological changes that drive cell function. In human neurons, this process takes longer than in most other cell types, lasting almost ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

A team led by HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow Shan Meltzer has created a detailed, cell-by-cell map of the spinal cord that offers a new framework for understanding chronic pain and provides a powerful new ...

A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in the nervous system of a model nematode, a type of worm, according to new ...

Researchers have used human tracheal cells to create tiny biological robots that can move on their own and work together to encourage healing in damaged neurons without requiring genetic modifications ...

By examining mice across the lifespan, researchers showed that age lowers firing rates in cerebellar Purkinje cells, leading to poorer motor coordination. Reversing this decline improved performance, ...
