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

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, ...

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 ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

MRI signals don’t always match the brain’s true activity levels, overturning a core assumption used in tens of thousands of studies.

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

A decade ago, a group of scientists had the literally brilliant idea to use bioluminescent light to visualize brain activity.

Researchers have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes as the ever-changing neuronal ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

New research suggests that the way brain networks reorganize moment-to-moment predicts autism severity. Children who spent ...
