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

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

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

Using in-vitro models of a specific type of brain cell, scientists show that neurons are capable of changing from one type to ...

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

Researchers reveal that the birth of new neurons in adults plays a key role in learning. This discovery overturns our ...

Mirror neurons received significant media attention in the 2000s and were painted by some scientists as the key to many of our advanced social abilities. However, many of the more significant ...

Scientists at Auburn University have uncovered a fundamental principle of how brain cells stay connected, and their discovery ...

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 ...

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 ...

Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a conversion method that is highly efficient and can produce more than 10 neurons from a single skin cell. If replicated in human cells ...
