What makes the human brain capable of language, imagination, mathematics and invention? For many years, the prevailing view ...

For years, one of the simplest explanations for human intelligence was also one of the biggest: the human brain has an enormous number of neurons. It also has an even more enormous web of connections ...

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that individual cells in the human ...

The researchers say our neurons' cognitive potency comes from its unique structure. Compared to those of other mammals, human ...

A new study proves individual human cortical neurons have the computational complexity of an entire deep artificial neural ...

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed an artificial neuron like no other. In experiments, their newly created model was able to directly communicate with a biological ...

Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain’s electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain “waves”—rhythms ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.
