Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Our mushy brains seem a far cry from the solid silicon chips in computer processors, but scientists have a long history of comparing the two. As Alan Turing put it in 1952: “We are not interested in ...

The deep learning field has been dominated by “large models” requiring massive computational resources and energy, leading to unsustainable environmental and economic challenges. To address this, ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

The same neuron can tell fruit flies to walk toward the smell of rotting fruit and speed up, according to new research from Yale scientists. Neurobiologists once believed that each neuron held a ...

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...

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 from The University of Osaka report the development of two fluorescent indicators, Gachapin and Gachapin-C, that ...
