Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most detailed biophysically realistic brain simulations of an animal ever. This ...

This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

BEIJING, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers have developed an in vivo embryonic mouse intrauterine imaging technique, which has elucidated the dynamic process of brain development in embryonic ...

Optogenetic climbing fiber activation regulates experience-dependent plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of mice, suggesting a role of the olivo-cerebellum in instructive signaling across ...

Biophysically detailed simulation of the whole mouse cortex neuron by neuron, with sub-cellular resolution—that is, capturing ion flows and fluctuations of membrane voltage within many compartments ...

Advances in technology have greatly accelerated scientific understanding of vision and the brain. Researchers can now ...

Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

Let a mouse nose around a house, and it will rapidly find food and form a strategy to return to it without getting caught. Given the same task, an AI would require millions of training examples and ...

Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...
