Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

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 ...

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

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

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.

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

Filippo Beleggia, MD, PhD, didn’t believe his own data. As a postdoctoral researcher, he spent years in the laboratory of Christian Reinhardt, MD, PhD, at the University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, ...
