International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, it was widely accepted that neurons relied exclusively on glucose to fuel their functions in the brain. This is not ...

The human brain contains more connections between neurons than there are stars in the Milky Way. Decoding the electrical activity behind all those cells is the massive task that excites neural ...

When patients undergo general anesthesia, doctors can choose among several drugs. Although each of these drugs acts on neurons in different ways, they all lead to the same result: a disruption of the ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse ...

A newly identified role for the neuronal MPS shows it controls nutrient uptake by acting as a gatekeeper. Its disruption ...

"The ghost is no longer in the machine. The machine is becoming the ghost." The post Researchers Upload Fly’s Brain to Matrix, Let It Control Virtual Body appeared first on Futurism.

When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

Researchers at Brown’s Carney Institute for Brain Science identified a pair of neurons that integrate sweet and bitter ...
