Mice that lost teeth showed memory loss, brain inflammation markers after six months. The findings suggest tooth loss may ...

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 ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Modern biology runs on precision, yet so much of the daily lab workflow remains stubbornly manual. Even today, one of the ...

The policy prohibiting cell phone use in class passed recently but an official said that it just puts in writing what is already in place. The policy included all electronic devices with the ability ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages between neurons with unprecedented speed and sensitivity. Dramatic performance ...
