People tend to flex their intelligence for a number of reasons, including deep-seated insecurities, asserting their identity, or fulfilling their need for validation. In the process, some of them do ...

The glial-specific role of betaPix during cerebral blood vessel development has been revealed by establishing a new betaPix conditional trap allele in zebrafish.

Winning brands now compete on speed and relevance — not impressions.

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

A figure from the research paper shows that both the model and experimental animals learned a task at a very similar pace. A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists showed that it’s possible to reproduce an entire cerebral cortex inside one of the world’s fastest computers. The model represents the ...

Is language core to thought, or a separate process? For 15 years, the neuroscientist Ev Fedorenko has gathered evidence of a language network in the human brain — and has found some similarities to ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

It used to be thought that sea urchins only had a primitive nervous system, but new research has found that they are far more complex than that. The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are ...

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 ...

For decades, data centers were designed with permanence in mind: fixed plans, rigid shapes and predictable life cycles. Physical constraints of legacy architectures made them inherently static. But in ...

A new AI-assisted brain atlas that can help visualize the human brain in unprecedented detail has been developed by UCL researchers, in a major step forward for neuroscience and neuroimaging. The ...
