New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal ...

The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn about when you read this story: The blending of biological and artificial “computing” is a topic that stretches back to the 1940s and 50s. Now, Cortical Labs has successfully ...

To this day, in the known universe, only one example exists of a system capable of general-purpose intelligence. That system ...

If you develop Alzheimer's disease, you not only lose your sense of time, but you also lose your sense of place. Could time and place be two sides of the same coin? About 55 million people globally ...
