In the lingo of the field, dopamine-producing cells are measuring a reward prediction error — the difference between the ...

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

A new book by one of the founders of research on neural networks covers more than 40 years of scientific work that led to the ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive ...

The authors used a Bayesian modeling framework to fit behavior and serotonin neuron activity to reward history across multiple timescales. A key goal was to distinguish value coding from other ...

The human brain possesses an extraordinary ability to capture, store, and retrieve experiences that shape our identity and ...

Synchronization is one of nature’s most mysterious phenomena, seen when independent systems suddenly begin moving in unison.

Scientists developed a wireless brain implant smaller than a grain of sand that recorded neural activity in mice for 365 days ...

New lab-grown neurons behave like real brain cells, and they could solve AI’s biggest flaw with shocking simplicity.

The rushed and uneven rollout of A.I. has created a fog in which it is tempting to conclude that there is nothing to see here ...

Northwestern researchers were able to calm overactive neurons and restore neuronal activity, which could potentially slow the ...

Researchers have developed a new type of artificial neuron that physically emulates the electrochemical processes of ...
