A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

Abstract: Accurate localization in GPS-denied environments remains a critical challenge for autonomous robot navigation. Animals exhibit remarkable navigational abilities in complex, dynamic ...

ME/CFS and the closely related long COVID could be caused by damage to the brainstem, according to a new scientific theory.

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Humans possess a remarkable balance between stability and flexibility, enabling them to quickly establish new plans and ...

The ability to follow patients with this high sensitivity allows us to make a more accurate and precise measurement, and we can see small changes or see them in a shorter period of time…,” ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the leading cause of cardioembolic stroke and is associated with increased stroke severity and fatality. Early identification of AF is essential for adequate ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...
