The medical consequences of traumatic brain injuries are well-studied and affect millions of Americans every year. But one of ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists showed that it’s possible to reproduce an entire cerebral cortex inside one of the world’s fastest computers. The model represents the ...

Every day, your brain makes thousands of decisions under uncertainty. Most of the time, you guess right. When you don't, you learn. But when the brain's ability to judge context or assign meaning ...

If you have ever lifted a weight, you know the routine: challenge the muscle, give it rest, feed it and repeat. Over time, it ...

Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...
