The single-celled Stentor coeruleus learns through CaMKII-driven protein modification, mirroring mechanisms found in the human brain.

A team of researchers discover how the stentor, an organism made of a single, gigantic cell, learns without a brain.

Breakthrough in bio-computing: Japanese researchers trained living neurons to perform supervised temporal pattern learning, a feat until now limited to artificial neural networks. How it was done: ...

The brain is often described as a dense forest of connections, and for years scientists have searched for ways to trim that ...

Study authors Hunter Schweiger (left) and Ash Robbins. Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler and make many small ...

Neurons that fire together, wire together” is not the full story. A novel mechanism explains how the brain can learn across longer timescales.

New research from University of Rochester faculty members Ralf Haefner and Adam Snyder and graduate student Shizhao Liu challenges a long-standing theory in neuroscience by showing that as learning ...

A startup is experimenting with data centers powered by lab-grown human neurons, testing whether living cells can offer a ...

No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
