A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

Intermittent fasting has moved far beyond a weight loss trend, with early evidence hinting that time restricted eating may ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

For decades, depression treatment has focused almost entirely on the brain, with drugs designed to tweak neurotransmitters ...

Is curing Alzheimer’s an impossible challenge or can we get there? I was invited to attend brain surgery at the forefront of dementia research. I’m wearing a surgical gown in the back ...

The ability to follow patients with this high sensitivity allows us to make a more accurate and precise measurement, and we can see small changes or see them in a shorter period of time…,” ...

When there are fewer dendritic spines, fewer synapses are formed, and brain cells struggle to communicate properly. This ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

It detects the faintest incoming signals between neurons, the release of glutamate, the brain’s most common neurotransmitter.
