Lynn applied his model to study the brains of mice and the worm C. elegans. He found that 90% of neuronal activity in the mouse data involved basic, one input-one output interactions. In the worm data ...

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 ...

Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability ...

After the storm comes the calm. But contrary to the famous proverb, the brain's neurons enter a period of calm before the neuronal storm that is an epileptic seizure. An international team of ...

A new breakthrough technology, co-developed by UCL scientists, that simultaneously records and manipulates neuron activity deep within the brain could transform our understanding of neural circuits ...

To map the mammalian brain and its various functions with increasing precision, neuroscientists rely on high-resolution imaging techniques and other advanced experimental tools. These include ...

Researchers stimulated human neurons and tracked gene activity. Activation exposed hidden variants and epigenetic changes linked to schizophrenia and autism, explaining disease risk missed in resting ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.
