How does the brain learn? Does it acquire new knowledge by creating new neural pathways or by strengthening existing ...

One of the most encouraging discoveries in modern neuroscience is that every day the human brain changes, adapts and rewires itself. This remarkable ability, known as neuroplasticity, means that ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have developed a novel reinforcement learning–based generative model to predict neural signals, creating ...

Scientists at Monash University have created a tiny fluid-based chip that behaves like neural pathways of the brain, potentially opening the door to a new generation of computers. Roughly the size of ...

For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel mechanisms of pain disorders. “This is important groundbreaking work,” ...
