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 the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

It's an extremely ambitious goal. The post Scientists Preparing to Simulate Human Brain on Supercomputer appeared first on ...

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

SAN DIEGO — Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of neuroscience, enabling scientific breakthroughs previously out of reach. New applications of AI and machine learning techniques ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain, integrates memory and processing to drastically reduce power consumption compared to traditional CPUs and GPUs, making AI at the network edge more ...

Anthony Leonardo is a neuroscientist at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s research facility who has created an environment to track dragonflies’ neuron transmissions. This research will enable him to ...

In a July 2018 MIT News article, “ Charting the Cerebellum, ” first author Xavier Guell of MIT's McGovern Institute of Brain Research, describes his team’s state-of-the-art mapping of motor and ...
