When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

Researchers challenge the long-standing "neural independence" theory, showing that learning actually makes neurons more coordinated.

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

A new study, recently published in the journal Nature Communications, is leading to a new understanding of how immune cells can influence adult neurogenesis, the process of creating new neurons in the ...

A new study suggests AI systems could be a lot more efficient. Researchers were able to shrink an AI vision model to 1/1000th ...

By Beth MillerThe brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural tissue like ...

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte, and for a long time, scientists thought its job was caretaking the brain, ...

Explore how core mathematical concepts like linear algebra, probability, and optimization drive AI, revealing its ...
