Scientists have mapped the molecular structure of glutamate receptors in the cerebellum for the first time using ...

Sleeping deeply into the afternoon after an all-nighter or a late night out is one way the body repays its sleep debt. The ...

The brains of humans and other primates are known to execute various sophisticated functions, one of which is the ...

Researchers have discovered that apical and basal dendrites of the same neuron use different strategies to learn, suggesting ...

This important study demonstrates the significance of incorporating biological constraints in training neural networks to develop models that make accurate predictions under novel conditions. By ...

New research shows that the brain’s cortex can rapidly reorganize itself after losing neurons, allowing other nerve cells to take over lost functions.

Scientists have developed a powerful new method for selectively and reversibly breaking connections between brain cells - a leap forward that could ...

A new understanding of how tumours exploit our nervous system is leading to new ways to treat cancer using familiar drugs ...

Neural nets get a whole lot more complicated than this, but this is the essential structure: different places within a network are represented by nodes (circles) and connections between them (lines).

To explore the significance of a single neuron’s spatial structure, researchers have turned to the nematode C. elegans, just one millimeter long. A unique feature of this organism is that the identity ...
