By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell - from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division - scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into ...

In 2022, the team at Cortical Labs taught 800,000 brain cells in a petri dish connected to a computer how to play the 1970s ...

Forget playing Doom on a calculator. Now you can play it with a clump of brain cells--no brainstem necessary.

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide - cell by cell - what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

In films like The Matrix and Ex Machina, the boundary between biological intelligence and machines dissolves. Human minds are ...

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

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...

Science X is a network of high quality websites with most complete and comprehensive daily coverage of the full sweep of ...

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in ...

Researchers at Australian start-up Cortical Labs have taught human neurons grown on a chip to play the classic Doom game. In 2021, they had already used 800,000 neurons to play Pong. Now, with four ...
