Researchers at Tohoku University and Future University Hakodate have trained cultured rat cortical neurons to perform ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

A set of recent research papers proposes that freezing or selectively tuning a small fraction of neurons inside large ...
