Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Two undergraduates will be first learning to work with mice under the supervision of a postdoc in the lab, then they will lead behavioral studies that measure different learning and memory functions.

The European Commission (EC) has released the 10-year assessment of the Human Brain Project (HBP), an EU-Flagship initiative that concluded in 2023. The report was authored by a panel of independent ...

A deep dive into how modern AI techniques unify forward modeling, inverse problem solving, and evaluation to build next-generation data-driven surrogate brains. Artificial intelligence (AI) is ...

A new brain device from Northwestern University is asking a daring question: what if information could reach your brain ...

We usually don't think much about it, but our brain is pretty amazing! This three-pound organ is in charge of everything—from our thoughts and memories to our emotions and decision-making. And yet, ...

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s difficult to ...

A small region of the brain, known as the ventral tegmental area (VTA), plays a key role in how we process rewards. It produces dopamine, a neuromodulator that helps predict future rewards based on ...
