MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

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 ...

A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

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

Exercise helps boost brain health, one study shows. Here, researchers and experts explain the findings, plus share the ...

For decades, Alzheimer’s research has largely focused on slowing decline, not restoring what was lost. Now a series of animal ...

Explore new insights into neurodegenerative therapies as researchers observe learning mechanisms in the living brain.

“Expression tells us what cells do, but regulatory DNA tells us where they come from, how they develop, and which germ layer ...

The first few months of life are a very important period in terms of human development, and at this point, many of the most ...
