Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

To ensure we get the calories and hydration we need, the brain relies on a complex network of cells, signals, and pathways to ...

Researchers have developed "infomorphic neurons" that learn independently, mimicking their biological counterparts more ...

Your brain, far from being fixed in adulthood, continues to renew itself. Researchers reveal that the birth of new neurons in ...

Mirror neurons were first discovered in the brains of macaque monkeys in the 1990s; since then, similar neurons have been identified in the brains of birds, mice, and, perhaps most notably, humans.

Both, human brain and modern artificial neural networks are extremely powerful. At the lowest level, the neurons work ...

Scientists have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. A team of researchers discovered which chemicals influence the signals ...

Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers has programmed these infomorphic neurons and constructed artificial ...

Converting one type of cell to another—for example, a skin cell to a neuron—can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a "pluripotent" stem cell, then ...

Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. Featured in the February ...
