A team of researchers discover how the stentor, an organism made of a single, gigantic cell, learns without a brain.

New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.

Treating brain diseases is extraordinarily challenging, because drugs often work poorly and implants require risky surgery that can jeopardize critical brain functions. A group at MIT has sought a ...

New research from University of Rochester faculty members Ralf Haefner and Adam Snyder and graduate student Shizhao Liu challenges a long-standing theory in neuroscience by showing that as learning ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, image ...

A growing body of research suggests astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells once dismissed as support players, may lead the way to more precise and effective psychiatric drugs. This fluorescent microscope ...

Researchers at Princeton University have developed a hybrid biocomputing platform that combines living brain ...

Scientists have identified a protective brain pathway that may help slow the progression of Parkinson's disease by ...
