Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Chinese scientists have developed a novel neural network that enables artificial intelligence (AI) to form concepts from raw sensory data like sight and sound, simulating a fundamental aspect of human ...

Figure 1. Diagram showing an electrically active cell in a neuronal culture and the process of recording its transmembrane potential for further analysis Neurons are cells that enable the brain to ...

The field of cellular neuroscience continues to reveal the intricate regulation of neural and glial cell function by water and ion channels, transporters, ...

A team led by Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside miniature, lab-grown ...

Researchers identify the Functional-Structural Ratio (FSR) as the biological link between age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline, offering a potential new biomarker for dementia risk.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have made a fundamental discovery: the NMDA receptor (NMDAR) - long studied primarily for its role in learning and memory - also plays a crucial role in stabilizing ...

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

While it's well known that sleep enhances cognitive performance, the underlying neural mechanisms, particularly those related to nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, remain largely unexplored. A new ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity.
