Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

We build AI systems to mimic the human brain: writing emails, answering questions and predicting what comes next. But new research aims to turn that relationship around—using large language models ...

Researchers found a "garbage man" enzyme that tags toxic clumps of proteins in the brain for removal, and saw a correlation ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

When a curious raccoon broke into an Ashland, Virginia, liquor store in December 2025, sampled the stock and passed out on ...

Mapping the brain is one of the biggest challenges in modern science. Researchers are trying to understand how billions of ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one, but at extremely low voltage. This allows for seamless communication with ...

It's the most wondering time of the year. No, not the holiday season, but the time when ad industry leaders issue year-end and/or look-ahead assessments, and following on my ANA "marketing word of the ...

Mind maps show how visual structure connects ideas and establishes relationships between complex topics. Mind map examples highlight how layout, hierarchy, and color choices influence focus and ...

Ramnik Xavier, MD, PhD, of the Department of Molecular Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital, is the senior author of a paper published in Science, “Regional encoding of enteric nervous system ...
