Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...

Lionfish are one of the most visually striking ocean creatures, and drawing them is a great way to practice flowing fins, ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Humans have the remarkable ability to remember the same person or object in completely different situations. We can easily ...

A new study from Bar-Ilan University shows that one of sleep's core functions originated hundreds of millions of years ago in ...

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a ...

This is an important study on the sensory roles of Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CBF-cn) in mammals. The authors identify PKD2L1 as the predominant pH-sensing channel CBF-cn and show how the ...
