Neuroscience continually strives to unravel the intricate relationship between neural network morphology, spiking dynamics, and their resulting functional ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert ...

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

Abstract: Accurate localization in GPS-denied environments remains a critical challenge for autonomous robot navigation. Animals exhibit remarkable navigational abilities in complex, dynamic ...

Tiny lab-grown “mini brains” are no longer just a futuristic curiosity. By capturing the electrical chatter of neurons in a ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

Research reveals why AI systems can't become conscious—and what radically different computing substrates would be needed to ...

After traumatic brain injury (TBI), some patients may recover completely, while others retain severe disabilities. Accurately ...

Imagine watching a conversation between brain cells, seeing chemical messages pass from one neuron to another. Scientists can ...

Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

Scientists are building experimental computers from living human brain cells and testing how they learn and adapt.
