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 ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

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

Brain scans of thousands of people revealed that the human brain has five distinct eras, with turning points in the way it is ...

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

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

Scientists have discovered that breast cancer can disturb the brain’s daily stress hormone rhythms early in disease ...
