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 ...

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

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be game-changing for treating diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Researchers at Australian start-up Cortical Labs have taught human neurons grown on a chip to play the classic Doom game. In 2021, they had already used 800,000 neurons to play Pong. Now, with four ...

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

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

A genetic analysis of the nuclei also showed that superager neural cells have increased gene activity linked to stronger synaptic connections, greater plasticity, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor ...

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

Fat-based vesicles help deliver GM1 to the brain, improving movement and extending survival in mouse models of ALS, a study finds.

All animals, including humans, experience stress. Not the type where you worry about paying bills, but metabolic stress - triggered by starvation ...

Living human neurons were trained to play Doom, extending the long-running engineering benchmark into biological computing.

After training neurons to play Pong, the team is back, and this time the brain cells are slaying demons with super shotguns.
