A breakthrough in brain-inspired computing could make today’s energy-hungry AI systems far more efficient. Researchers have engineered a new nanoelectronic device using a modified form of hafnium ...

The brain's 'garbage disposal' system falters with age, a new study finds, with long-lived neurons offloading clumpy, old proteins onto other brain cells. Many of those proteins are involved in brain ...

A new noninvasive neurostimulation technique capable of reaching deep regions of the brain has been used to elucidate the ...

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...

A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across ...

A nasal spray using extracellular vesicles can reduce brain inflammation, restore cell function, and improve cognition, ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate the ...

The human brain is a marvel of nature, a labyrinth of neurons and synapses that dictates every aspect of our behavior, thoughts, and feelings. Yet, despite its critical role in our lives, it remains ...

The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...

Researchers have identified a brain mechanism that may determine why chronic pain leads to depression in some individuals but ...
