Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...
Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive ...
USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...
A breakthrough in neuromorphic computing could lower the energy consumption of chips and accelerate progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of En ...
Researchers have demonstrated that self-organization of neurons as they 'learn' follows a mathematical theory called the free energy principle. The principle accurately predicted how real neural ...
On October 31, 2025, researchers revealed a groundbreaking innovation: a brain-inspired computer prototype designed to bring ...
Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers from the Göttingen Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological ...
His studies suggest that neurogenesis does not play a role in spatial learning, but instead strongly affected contextual fear conditioning (a learned fear response to a place).
