Humans have the remarkable ability to remember the same person or object in completely different situations. We can easily ...

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 way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

A new study from Bar-Ilan University shows that one of sleep's core functions originated hundreds of millions of years ago in ...

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).

A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

New research has discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein can prevent neuron death caused by DNA damage and ...

Researchers have discovered a brain activity pattern that can predict which people with mild cognitive impairment are likely ...

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is critical to identifying task structure and to generalizing appropriately across task states with similar underlying or hidden causes. This capability is at the heart ...

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

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
