Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain, are complex computers by themselves. They receive input signals on a tree-like structure - the dendrite. This structure does more than simply collect the ...

The application of neural network models to semiconductor device simulation has emerged as a transformative approach in the field of electronics. These models offer significant speed improvements over ...

Last week, Google Research held an online workshop on the conceptual understanding of deep learning. The workshop, which featured presentations by award-winning computer scientists and neuroscientists ...

New research from the University of St Andrews, the University of Copenhagen and Drexel University has developed AI computational models that predict the degeneration of neural networks in amyotrophic ...

In a world first, a cross-institutional research collaboration has used a two-photon microscope (*1) with a combination of calcium imaging (*2) and holographic stimulation (*3) to reveal that the ...

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 ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people worldwide. Synapses are points of communication between neural cells that ...

Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease. An intervention, ...

Researchers in Australia study effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation in mouse models of debilitating illness. 2-photon microscopy captures axonal segments in a living brain. Click for info.

Neuroscientists discover a pathway to restore mobility, leveraging deep brain stimulation to activate key neurons and enable walking recovery for individuals with spinal cord injuries. Study: ...
