Mental illness, memory, perception: they’re made of neurons and electric signals. Henry Markram claims these mysteries of the mind can be solved — and soon. He is building a detailed, realistic ...

Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly's visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

A new open-source model of brain metabolism, developed by scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), has shown how altering key chemicals could restore aged cells to their youthful ...

A new study suggests that the brain processes information with high efficiency by synchronizing the physical wiring of neural networks with the varying speeds of local brain activity. Published in ...

A figure from the research paper shows that both the model and experimental animals learned a task at a very similar pace. A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and ...

A new artificial intelligence model measures how fast a patient's brain is aging and could be a powerful new tool for understanding, preventing and treating cognitive decline and dementia. A new ...
