A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Alzheimer’s disease has long looked like a slow-motion wildfire, starting in one part of the brain and then advancing along ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...

AURORA, Colo. (Dec. 19, 2025) – Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz have discovered that while brain neuron changes, including cell loss, may begin in early life, a drug long-approved ...

Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...

Long before memory problems appear, your brain may already be losing neurons. That is the unsettling message from new work by ...
