Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Using lab-grown brain tissue, researchers uncovered complex patterns of neural signaling that differ subtly between healthy ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...

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 ...
