A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

In a study published in Neuron, a research team led by Prof. WANG Liping from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the neural circuit ...

Neural and computational evidence reveals that real-world size is a temporally late, semantically grounded, and hierarchically stable dimension of object representation in both human brains and ...

CCN1 is a key factor for stabilizing brain circuits in adulthood, offering a therapeutic target for conditions, such as Alzheimer's and PTSD.

The mysteries of the brain have captivated scientists for more than 100 years, most notably illustrated in the detailed drawings of neuroanatomist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. These drawings and his ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. Although previous ...

Researchers have discovered how two brain areas, neocortex and thalamus, work together to detect discrepancies between what animals expect from their environment and actual events. These prediction ...

The AI & Tech January 2026 edition highlights how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are reshaping our world, work, and everyday lives. Focusing on digital innovation and the future of ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...
