A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

The progression of Alzheimer's disease is poorly understood, but new research may have found how the plaques that cause it ...

Summary: Scientists have built one of the most comprehensive single-cell maps of the developing human brain. The new BrainSTEM framework analyzed nearly 680,000 fetal brain cells to chart their growth ...

A breakthrough in neuromorphic computing could lower the energy consumption of chips and accelerate progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of En ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of ...

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy requirements were presumed to be supplied by sugar alone, in contrast to muscle or ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...

Fiber-optic technology revolutionized the telecommunications industry and may soon do the same for brain research.

Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.
