International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.
Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial ...
A few years ago, Cortical Labs announced that it had trained about 800,000 cells cultured on a computer chip to play “Pong,” ...
Cortical Labs says the stunt points toward a new kind of low-power computing—and perhaps a new way to study neurological ...
At the same time, Nucleus Fund invested $250,000 in Intactis Bio Corp to help the company grow its platform, increase the difficulty of the tasks it can handle, and move toward commercialization. This ...
The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across millions of years of evolution. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...
For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...
Successfully treating type 2 diabetes may involve focusing on brain neurons, rather than simply concentrating on obesity or insulin resistance, according to a new study. For several years, researchers ...
