Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...

In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature ...

Adults over 80 who score as well on memory tests as people decades younger are not simply lucky. A new study published in Nature finds that these individuals, known as super-agers, generate at least ...

Researchers use AI "digital twins" to discover a new type of neuron in the visual cortex that perceives complex textures and object arrangements.

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the human brain.

The visual cortex is the part of the brain that enables visual perception. In this area millions of nerve cells, called neurons, process stimuli from the outside world. They only react when objects ...

Researchers create the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the fruit fly brain, revealing how lineage and birth order define neuronal identity.
