Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify a pattern of gene expression that can be used to predict whether or ...

Artificial intelligence can share our natural ability to make numeric snap judgments. Researchers observed this knack for numbers in a computer model composed of virtual brain cells, or neurons, ...

Since then, many more researchers have reported evidence for neurons changing how they respond to certain stimuli or ...

The cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the mammalian brain, is known to play a key role in numerous higher-level processes, including language, memory and decision-making. While countless studies ...

How complex neural circuits are genetically designed and wired is a fundamental question in neuroscience. Scientists have ...

Scientists identified a protein that may help Parkinson's disease spread through the brain, opening a potential path to new ...

Scientists have discovered that exercise remodels the heart's nerves and changes how it regulates its heartbeat and responds to stress.

The eye works by focusing light on the back of the eye, which contains light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors. This activates electric signals, which are transmitted through the layers of neurons ...
