What matters isn’t the condensate—it’s whether tubulin is present, an associate professor told Newsweek.

The human brain, often hailed as nature's most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...

And yet we know surprisingly little about them. While the cellular biology of this critical organ has been mapped out, ...

A study has uncovered new insights into how the brain processes and integrates pain information. The research goes beyond identifying brain areas that respond to pain, revealing the mechanisms behind ...

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are artificial intelligence (AI) models inspired by how biological neurons communicate with ...

The country wants to become a global leader in brain implants. Strong government support is expected to help accelerate that ...

Unlike artificial language models, which process long texts as a whole, the human brain creates a "summary" while reading, helping it understand what comes next. In recent years, large language models ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate the ...

About 2,500 years ago, Babylonian traders in Mesopotamia impressed two slanted wedges into clay tablets. The shapes represented a placeholder digit, squeezed between others, to distinguish numbers ...

A breakthrough in brain-inspired computing could make today’s energy-hungry AI systems far more efficient. Researchers have engineered a new nanoelectronic device using a modified form of hafnium ...
