Human brain cells are now interacting with computer systems, learning to play video games like Doom. Researchers have ...

A new study reveals how cocaine use alters brain circuits tied to memory and reward, leaving the brain more vulnerable to relapse.

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

Every time we feel a gentle tap on the skin, specialized nerve cells convert that physical force into an electrical signal ...

Many patients suffer from epilepsy that cannot be controlled by current medications. Surgical removal of epileptogenic brain regions is effective in only about half of cases, and not all patients are ...

A dish of living human neurons has been taught to play Doom. No, it isn’t conscious or watching the screen the way players do. But it is learning to respond to signals in a way that produces ...

Scientists demonstrate reinforcement learning on photonic chips that compute using optical spikes instead of electronic signals.

Potassium KCNQ2/3 channels are crucial for suppressing the excitability of brain cells, or neurons. When these channels don't work properly, they can cause specific types of epilepsy like benign ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

Researchers discover that KCNQ2/3 potassium channels must be functional to reach their proper location in the brain, with major implications for treating epilepsy.

Cortical Labs, an Australian biotechnology startup, connected a culture of living human and mouse neurons to a version of the ...
