Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive ...

A computer model developed by researchers from Japan and Seattle's Allen Institute could lead to new methods for studying ...

Neuroscientists studying the shifts between sleep and awareness are finding many liminal states, which could help explain the ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

A new Yale study has revealed that neurons — the energy-hungry cells that connect and direct activity in the brain — are equipped with “backup batteries” that kick in to keep the brain running during ...

We've all experienced defeat at some point – losing a game, a potential new job, a debate. Now, a new study has found that the brain may learn from losing to others, with a specific group of neurons ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.

It’s estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and cognitive. That ...

Speaking is one of the most complicated things a human can do. Before you even say a word, your brain has to translate what you want to say into a perfectly sequenced set of instructions to the dozens ...
