Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate the organization and functioning of networks of neurons in the brain.

The brain is the body's command center, and neurons are the workhorses that carry out its commands. They transmit signals ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...

Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations.

We found that new neurons in the adult brain are linked to reduced cognitive decline—particularly in verbal learning, or learning by listening to others. Researchers know that new neurons contribute ...

The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Regenerating neurons may be one way to improve cognition. stanislavgusev/RooM via Getty Images Your brain can still make new ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain—they talk to it. In a new ...

New work in fruit flies uncovers an electrical trick that allows neurons to compute direction efficiently by juggling multiple signaling mechanisms. These findings could reframe our understanding of ...

Neurons in the bird eye’s inner retina lack a blood supply. Finding how these neurons function without oxygen reveals a role for an enigmatic eye structure. Read the paper: Oxygen-free metabolism in ...

Researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Hyderabad have identified a mammalian protein, Cnpy1 ...
