The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

"If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, the Doom guy shoots." The post Researchers Get Human Brain Cells Running Doom ...

Many people’s brains deteriorate as they age, becoming riddled with malfunctioning proteins that result in cell death and the ...

While ageing often brings mild memory lapses, new research suggests the human brain may continue to renew itself even in later years. A study published in the journal Nature has found strong evidence ...

A new method of CCM using which connections between neurons can be inferred based on the causal relationships between spike train data. Understanding the brain’s functional architecture is a ...

Millions of myelin-producing cells have been mapped in the mouse brain, advancing our understanding of nervous system ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a promising new approach that could help protect and possibly restore brain ...
