Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried ...

About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to make neural activity visible. Instead of shining light onto the brain from ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, ...
