International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial ...

Cortical Labs says the stunt points toward a new kind of low-power computing—and perhaps a new way to study neurological ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Scientists have found that your brain separates memories into “what” and “where/when” using two different groups of neurons.

Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of ...

Brain cells are increasingly being found outside the brain, and now researchers have identified specific neurons in the abdomen that control some aspects of digestion. Not all brain cells are found in ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

Scientists have identified neurons that are active when mouse pups interact with their mothers, appearing to reduce their distress. The same neurons may also be involved in human mother-child bonding.
