The hippocampus follows a "tabula plena" model, starting with dense, random connections that are pruned into an efficient ...

The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories ...

Engineers have found a way to fine-tune tiny artificial neurons to fire like real brain cells.

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers found that surviving eye cells formed extra branches that restored ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...

Scientists have successfully mapped the brain neurons (neurons) activated when mice make decisions, marking the first large-scale recording of individual neuron activity across the entire mouse brain.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Journalist, analyst, author, podcaster. The world’s first “code-deployable” biological computer is now for sale. The Cortical Labs ...

Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called synapses, according to an upcoming study led by Stanford Medicine ...
