Scientists create a supercomputer simulation that can reveal how the brain works, neuron by neuron
A computer model developed by researchers from Japan and Seattle's Allen Institute could lead to new methods for studying ...
Scientists have discovered millions of so-called silent synapses in the adult brain, immature links between neurons that are dormant until they are needed for the formation of new memories. It had ...
A global team leveraged one of the world’s fastest supercomputers to create the most detailed digital simulation of a mouse cortex ever produced.
Striking electron microscope pictures from inside the brains of mice suggest what happens in our own brain every day: Our synapses - the junctions between nerve cells - grow strong and large during ...
Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...
One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, ...
Our memories are stored in brain connections called synapses. And according to a new Nature study, synapses aren’t permanent structures: They only last as long as the memories they store. The rest of ...
A team of physicists from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and Sogang University in South Korea have built an artificial synapse, the biological foundation of the human brain's ability to think ...
