How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory postdoc Stan Kerstjens and colleagues have devised a new theory for how the brain organizes ...

A new study suggests AI systems could be a lot more efficient. Researchers were able to shrink an AI vision model to 1/1000th ...

Researchers have transplanted healthy mitochondria into brain cells and animal models of neurodegeneration, reporting improved energy output, reduced cell death, and temporary recovery of motor ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Researchers propose that brain cells inherit positional cues from their lineage and cluster near related cells to form large-scale structure. Mouse and zebrafish experiments support the model, with ...

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...
