When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

A research team has demonstrated how the energy levels of individual neurons in the brain change during so-called spreading depolarizations -- waves of activity that occur in various brain disorders.

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. The approach could expand ...

An important part of the human experience is striving for higher achievements and deeper understanding. In science, deeper understanding can have practical applications for health and ameliorating the ...

The brain's 'garbage disposal' system falters with age, a new study finds, with long-lived neurons offloading clumpy, old proteins onto other brain cells. Many of those proteins are involved in brain ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and ...

A new study suggests AI systems could be a lot more efficient. Researchers were able to shrink an AI vision model to 1/1000th ...

A new study published in J Neuroscience suggests that adults with ADHD tend to experience sleep-like brain activity even while they are fully awake. Here are why these findings matter and what you ...

MIT neuroscientists have figured out how the brain is able to focus on a single voice among a cacophony of many voices, shedding light on a longstanding neuroscientific phenomenon known as the ...

Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are now using the dystopian tech to power AI data centers. Australian biotech ...
