The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

The Allen Institute for Brain Science and the Blue Brain Project are deepening their collaboration. Today, the US-based Allen Institute is releasing a set of 40 computer models of neurons from the ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) expert, serial entrepreneur, and noted software developer, Charles Simon, CEO of FutureAI has launched Brain Simulator II, a software platform for proving how Artificial ...

The sound of a fire alarm tells us to get out quickly to not get hurt, while the sight of a gas station sign can signal a ...

The findings come from the most comprehensive computer model of brain metabolism to date, which incorporates more than 16,800 biochemical interactions between proteins and chemicals across brain cells ...

A research team has demonstrated how the energy levels of individual neurons in the brain change during so-called spreading depolarizations -- waves of activity that occur in various brain disorders.
