Mini-brains' grown in the lab allow scientists to study brain wiring without interfering with brains in living people, and ...

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 well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

For more than a century, brain imaging has been a story of trade-offs: sharp pictures but slow timing, or fast signals with ...

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 ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

To map the mammalian brain and its various functions with increasing precision, neuroscientists rely on high-resolution imaging techniques and other advanced experimental tools. These include ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers ...

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

Scientists at Brown University have developed CaBLAM, a bioluminescent tool that allows long-term, high-resolution imaging of living brain cells without external light.
