Could computers ever learn more like humans do, without relying on artificial intelligence (AI) systems that must undergo ...

A team of engineers at The University of Texas at Dallas has developed a small-scale computer prototype that learns more like the human brain. The brain-inspired hardware can recognize patterns and ...

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 ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

Florida Atlantic University neuroscientists have uncovered a surprising role for a protein named "Frazzled" (known as DCC in ...

Scientists have uncovered a key role for the protein “Frazzled” in building and maintaining the rapid neural connections that allow fruit flies to react in milliseconds.

Researchers at the Salk Institute have identified a missing molecule, pleiotrophin, as a possible key to repairing faulty ...

A team of researchers has discovered that a protein called cypin plays a powerful role in helping brain cells connect and communicate, which is crucial for learning and memory. By uncovering how cypin ...

Scientists have discovered how a key protein helps maintain strong connections between brain cells that are crucial for learning and memory. Results of the study, published in the journal Science ...

Scientists have made an enormous step toward understanding the human brain by building a neuron-by-neuron and synapse-by-synapse roadmap -- scientifically speaking, a 'connectome' -- through the brain ...
