McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes ...

Language-Specific Hardware: At the single-neuron level inside the hippocampus, individual cells are largely language-specific, meaning they do not automatically fire for identical concepts across ...

For many bilingual people, switching between languages feels effortless. Now, scientists have figured out how bilingual ...

In a study published in Cell on July 10, a team from the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology (CEBSIT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with a team from the HUST ...

The human working memory (WM) is the cognitive system responsible for the temporary storage and processing of information vital to task completion. In contrast, human long-term memory (LTM) is the ...

A connectome 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 is a representation of neuronal connections among involved neurons, neuronal populations and brain regions. Connectomes have been intensively studied at various scales, ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), the cornerstone of modern machine learning techniques, are designed through mathematical modeling to emulate the functionality of biological neurons. Demonstrating ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Computing systems have made impressive progress, but they still fall short when compared to the human brain’s energy efficiency and adaptability. Biological neurons handle complex ...

In a study published in Cell on July 10, researchers reported the first comprehensive study of whole-brain projectomes of the macaque prefrontal cortex (PFC) at the single-neuron level and revealed ...
