Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections, ...

In a study published in Neuron, a research team at the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, aimed to understand how immune cells of the brain, called microglia, contribute to ...

A new study reveals how young synapses gradually mature to send chemical signals correctly — a process that can take days and depends on neural activity.

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan have discovered how animals sense that things smell pleasant ...

When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI ...

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections, or "synapses," sending out ...

Scientists have identified a single gene that gives rise to a rare form of diabetes, unique to newborn babies.

I have come across various ways of defining Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Many of them miss a fundamental characteristic ...
