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 University of Rochester study could reshape how scientists think about perception, learning disorders, and artificial ...

Researchers challenge the long-standing "neural independence" theory, showing that learning actually makes neurons more coordinated.

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Florida Atlantic University has received a $2.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate how an immune-related receptor in neurons plays a fundamental role in brain function ...

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

Every time we feel a gentle tap on the skin, specialized nerve cells convert that physical force into an electrical signal ...

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

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

A growing body of research points to chronic, low-grade inflammation inside the brain as a possible accelerant of Alzheimer’s disease, not just a bystander response to damage already done. The 2024 ...

A team at the University of California, San Francisco has identified a specific liver-produced enzyme that explains, at the molecular level, how physical exercise protects the aging brain from ...
