A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

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 ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category ...

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

Neurons in the brain are wired like a social network, report researchers from Biozentrum, University of Basel. Each nerve cell has links with many others, but the strongest bonds form between the few ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...

Researchers compared a pair of superficially similar motor neurons in fruit flies to examine how their differing use of the same genome produced distinctions in form and function. Figuring out how ...

Harvard and Google Research have released a startlingly deep dive into the human brain, mapping thousands of cells and millions of synapses in a poppy seed-sized sample of brain tissue. The effort ...
