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

Neuroscientists are closing in on a long elusive goal: pinpointing the exact brain cells that make anxiety surge or suddenly ...

Singapore has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, yet many individuals spend almost a decade in poor health ...

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

Alzheimer's disease affects the brain in tragic and seemingly irreversible ways, but a new study gives hope that its ...

Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

Brain organoids can be a good step forward, assuming they are grown from induced human pluripotent stem cells. That allows us to sidestep ethical concerns about the use of human embryos, thereby ...

The medication restored normal NAD+ levels and fully reversed cognitive function in advanced Alzheimer's models.

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...
