The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a crucial part of the mammalian brain, known to be involved in decision-making, planning, complex social behavior and integrating the activity of other brain regions.

For more than eighty years, deep learning has relied on a simplified model of brain function. The 1943 McCulloch-Pitts model of the neuron fueled breakthroughs in image recognition, speech synthesis ...

How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song, or directions to a friend’s house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

Everything your brain does—every memory, decision, emotion and command to move—starts with an electrical signal generated by a neuron. One of the most sophisticated cells in the body, every neuron has ...

A typical neuron is composed of three main structures: the cell body, axon, and dendrites. The cell body is where most of the cellular organelles are located, including the nucleus, which contains the ...

As the race for viable alternatives to lithium-ion technology accelerates, sodium batteries are emerging as one of the front-runners. Earlier this year, battery manufacturing heavyweight CATL unveiled ...
