A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a previously underappreciated role in the maturation of coordinated movement.

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide - cell by cell - what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a previously underappreciated role in the maturation of coordinated movement. A ...

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...

For some time, the field of neuroscience has been predominantly "neurocentric," viewing neurons as the primary agents of information processing while ...

Researchers from Virginia Tech and Arizona State University recently revealed findings that tie two brain chemicals in bees to learning ability.

Researchers have used gene therapy to partially reprogram the brain cells that store memories in aging mice, reversing signs of cellular decline and restoring learning ability. The technique, ...

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte, and for a long time, scientists thought its job was caretaking the brain, ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a Neuron Abandoning Attention Flow (NAFlow) method to address the unsolved problem of visually explaining the attention evolution dynamics inside CNNs when making ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

While Gemini 3 is still making waves, Google's not taking the foot off the gas in terms of releasing new models. Yesterday, the company released FunctionGemma, a specialized 270-million parameter AI ...
