The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...

Researchers use AI "digital twins" to discover a new type of neuron in the visual cortex that perceives complex textures and object arrangements.

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

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...

Astrocytes in the cerebellum trigger a shift in GABA signaling during late adolescence, enabling adult-level motor coordination.

For some time, the field of neuroscience has been predominantly "neurocentric," viewing neurons as the primary agents of information processing while ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes-star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons-play a previously underappreciated ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide - cell by cell - what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising ...

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, ...

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a previously underappreciated role in the maturation of coordinated movement. A ...

PASADENA, Calif., March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AcuraStem, a patient-based biotechnology company developing disease-modifying therapies for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), today announced it has ...
