Experiments point to how scientists can strengthen or weaken memories, which may eventually lead to treatments for Alzheimer’s disease or PTSD.

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

We don't know how many senses are involved in interoception. Scientists still don't have a good picture of sensory neuron anatomy in the body, which nerves connect to which tissues. And ...

One notable missing feature in most ANN models is top-down feedback, i.e. projections from higher-order layers to lower-order layers in the network. Top-down feedback is ubiquitous in the brain, and ...

A recent study reveals that the human brain, when lacking energy, might draw from its own fatty tissues. This discovery suggests a new form of neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to function ...

Immediate use for the newly developed assembloids could include studying neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) researchers have developed a neuromorphic photonic semiconductor neuron capable ... rhythmic burst firing for sensory encoding, pattern ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...
