By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution.

Neural organoids have been heralded as having huge potential for advancing our knowledge of the brain in several fields. These include exploring the responses of brain tissue to drugs, investigating ...

Can AI learn by shrinking? A new study introduces a development-inspired continual learning framework for spiking neural ...

A human infant is born with roughly twice as many synapses as it will eventually need. Over the first few years of life, the ...

The strength of certain neural connections can predict how well someone can learn math, and mildly electrically stimulating these networks can boost learning, according to a study published in the ...

In the cerebral cortex, numerous neurons exchange information through junctions known as synapses. The strength of each synaptic connection changes depending on the activity levels of the neurons ...

In order to uncover the relationship between structure and function, researchers used microfluidic devices to study neuronal networks. Uncovering the relationship between structure (connectivity) and ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Researchers have mapped the long-range synaptic connections involved in vocal learning in zebra finches, uncovering new details about how the brain organises learned vocalisations such as birdsong.
