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 ...

Think back to middle school algebra, like 2 a + b. Those letters are parameters: Assign them values and you get a result. In ...

A new study reveals how biological branching networks use surface geometry to shape blood vessels, brains, and plants.

A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

In a nutshell, string theory is a sprawling realm of theoretical physics that assumes that tiny vibrating strings are the ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

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

The human connection deepens the younger you go (Razer’s demographic). While older generations largely use AI for ...

Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that can be caused by infections or autoimmune reactions. Even when patients survive the acute phase, many are left with long-lasting neurological problems ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in Down syndrome, according to new research my colleagues and I published in ...

It’s not a bad idea, in theory. Giving AI a face is not just a marketing ploy. It’s a biological inevitability.
