A next-generation silicon brain probe called Neuropixels Ultra more than doubles the number of individual neurons scientists ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain’s electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain “waves”—rhythms ...

How does mild hypoxia affect preterm babies? New research identifies a molecular mechanism that disrupts hippocampal ...

When faced with the same evidence, each individual can reach a different decision. How billions of specialized cells make split-second choices has largely been an open research question. In a new ...

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, ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...
