A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Alzheimer’s disease has long looked like a slow-motion wildfire, starting in one part of the brain and then advancing along ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators worked with a multi-institutional team to develop a new artificial intelligence framework that can accurately, quickly and efficiently create virtual models of brain neurons ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert ...

Humans have the remarkable ability to remember the same person or object in completely different situations. We can easily ...

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...

Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that can be caused by infections or autoimmune reactions. Even when patients survive the acute phase, many are left with long-lasting neurological problems ...
