The medical consequences of traumatic brain injuries are well-studied and affect millions of Americans every year. But one of ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

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 ...

Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly's visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

In a new study, researchers created an AI model of the mouse visual cortex that predicts neuronal responses to visual images. Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists ...

Researchers have developed a powerful new software toolbox that allows realistic brain models to be trained directly on data. This open-source framework, called JAXLEY, combines the precision of ...

The human brain is one of the most complex structures in nature, but the brain's origins stretch back hundreds of millions of years. A new study using AI deep-learning models has revealed more about ...

The hippocampus is one of the most fascinating brain regions. Associated with the formation of memories, it also helps us to navigate through the world without getting lost. Sensory cortices on the ...

For Martin Schrimpf, the promise of artificial intelligence is not in the tasks it can accomplish. It’s in what AI might reveal about human intelligence. He is working to build a “digital twin” of the ...
