Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like ...

Scientists affiliated with the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed an artificial neuron that can communicate efficiently with biological neurons, a research advance expected to ...

A new study reveals how the brain’s "place cells" create internal maps to help us navigate. These specialized neurons, found in the hippocampus, were once thought to rely on precisely ordered patterns ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sent between neurons—specialized cells that ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...
