In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...

New maps show the precise location of millions of oligodendrocytes in the mouse brain over its lifespan. Johns Hopkins (MD, USA) scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and ...

Newly identified brain cells evolved along the theme, "Life is uncertain; Eat dessert first." The neurons, located in the front part of the brain, are most active when the outcome of a decision is ...

A cluster of lab-grown human brain cells has apparently made the leap to successfully playing a very rudimentary video game without the benefit of eyes, ears, or any kind of sensory input. It's a far ...

Researchers used lasers to record and stimulate the activity of neurons in mice in order to learn how the brain processes and interprets optical illusions. (Allen Institute) Jo Kavaliauskas once saw ...

AI has all but overtaken the thinking universe. Training an early version of ChatGPT consumes about 1300 megawatt-hours of ...

Why do stressful moments so often push people toward habits like drinking? A new study from Texas A&M University offers one ...

Older adults classified as "SuperAgers" generate at least twice as many neurons in the hippocampus than their typical aging peers, a new study has revealed. These findings, released on Wednesday by ...

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), a leading cause of neurodevelopmental disorders, may affect as many as 1 in 20 school-aged children in the United States. Despite its prevalence, the exact ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...
