In the future, a new type of computer may be able to learn much like you do—by experience rather than endless repetition or ...

Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during ...

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed artificial neurons that can communicate directly with ...

Your brain is incredibly resilient, but it’s not indestructible. Certain daily habits destroying brain function operate so subtly that you might not notice the damage until it’s too late to reverse.
