A team led by Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside miniature, lab-grown ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

New findings reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during the earliest stages of ...

Sometimes in the rush to explore our interactions with neural nets (often in the form of LLMs) we forget to think about our own operating system and how it works. Of course, scientists did spend a lot ...

Previously met with skepticism, AI won scientists a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2024 after they used it to solve the protein folding and design problem, and it has now been adopted by biologists ...

Yann LeCun is a leading AI voice whose pathbreaking work in neural networks became the foundation for modern computers and deep learning.

A recent publication in Nature Machine Intelligence really got me thinking. In this study, researchers created an artificial system that not only simulates but also behaves like our brain. This ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...
