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

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

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 ...

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 ...

The familiar fight between “mind as software” and “mind as biology” may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as ...

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

When René Descartes watched a mechanical figure move with lifelike precision in the 17th century, the scene unsettled him.

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

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

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals).
