A computer model developed by researchers from Japan and Seattle's Allen Institute could lead to new methods for studying ...

A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

Researchers have discovered how networks of neurons in fruit flies transform simple brain signals into coordinated actions. This sheds light on the neural mechanisms underlying complex behaviors for ...

The brain has its own built-in cleaning system. Instead of soap and water, it uses cerebrospinal fluid—a clear liquid that ...

That work led to the Multisensory Correlation Detector (MCD), which could imitate human responses to simple audiovisual patterns like flashes and clicks. In this latest study, Parise simulated a grid ...

If you go to a neurologist, they can no doubt give you a barrage of tests to determine how healthy your brain is. And if you’ve got serious concerns about your memory or cognitive performance, a ...

Understanding how animals, including humans, transform brain signals into coordinated movements is a fundamental question in neuroscience. In general, the brain sends movement instructions to the body ...
