Researchers in Japan have trained rat neurons to perform real-time machine learning tasks, moving computing into biological territory. The system uses cultured neurons connected to hardware to ...

Japanese researchers trained cultured rat cortical neurons to autonomously generate complex temporal signals using a ...

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...

Scientists have made an enormous step toward understanding the human brain by building a neuron-by-neuron and synapse-by-synapse roadmap -- scientifically speaking, a 'connectome' -- through the brain ...

In the study, "Human stem cell-derived A10 dopaminergic neurons specifically integrate into mouse circuits and improve depression-like behaviors," published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers developed a ...

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...
