Kidney and nerve cells learn and form memories like neurons
Scientists have found that not just brain cells but also cells from other parts of the body can form and keep memories.
Scientists reactivate memory in laboratory mice
Neuroscientists have reactivated a spatial memory and tested the successful reactivation of the memory circuit in laboratory mice.
Scientists turn on new neuron production in mice brains
New research results suggest the possibility of finding ways to turn on new neuron production in old or injured brains.
Scientists map an entire fly brain
Scientists have mapped the entire brain of an adult fruit fly. This is by far the most complex brain that has been entirely mapped so far.
New model for human neocortex: single-direction, not looped
Similar to many artificial neural networks
Small neuromorphic device ‘sees,' makes ultra-fast decisions and creates memories
Could enable ultra-fast, live decision-making—in a self-driving car, for example
New microscopy technique reveals activity of one million neurons across the mouse brain
A 100-fold increase in the number of neurons that could be simultaneously recorded
