Using in-vitro models of a specific type of brain cell, scientists have demonstrated that neurons can transform from one type ...

memory formation hinges on connections between groups of engram cells, which are neurons thought to capture and store ...

Researchers in Germany have made a big step forward in making artificial intelligence more like the human brain. They’ve ...

This implies that under certain conditions, even brain cells change, and so do their functions. This is noteworthy as it ...

The CL1 biological computer, manufactured by the Australian company Cortical Labs, is designed for biomedical research, but ...

Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked, and the associated neuron made to fire, by a direct stimulus such as ...

In 1904, a German zoologist and memory researcher named Richard Semon made a prediction about how memories were stored in the ...

Motor neurons carry impulses away from the central nervous system (made up of the brain and spinal cord) and control the ...

This important computational study investigates homeostatic plasticity mechanisms that neurons may employ to achieve and maintain stable target activity patterns. The work extends previous analyses of ...

Every 0.5-millimeter-wide organoid is connected to eight electrodes that electrically stimulate the neurons within the living ...
