We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

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

About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

A CHANCE to explore the technology and ideas of the future is taking place in Swindon this February. The Festival of Tomorrow ...

The event has become a regular part of the town’s cultural calendar, using Swindon as a base to explore future-focused ...

New research from Colorado State University into the ways neurons regulate chemical balance in the brain could provide valuable insights toward ...

New studies show that psychedelics could unlock safer treatments for chronic pain, mood disorders, and even neuroprotection.

The human brain is an extremely active organ, requiring a constant supply of fuel. For a long time, sugar was considered its only energy source. Yet, a recent observation contradicts this established ...

It used to be thought that sea urchins only had a primitive nervous system, but new research has found that they are far more complex than that. The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are ...

Modern artificial intelligence systems, from robotic surgery to high-frequency trading, rely on processing streams of raw data in real time. Extracting important features quickly is critical, but ...
