A team from Princeton has designed a three-dimensional device that merges living neurons with electronics. This system can be ...

When a fruit fly gets dust on its body, it launches into a precise cleaning routine, sweeping and rubbing its legs in rhythmic strokes that look almost mechanical. Scientists have long assumed that ...

Since then, many more researchers have reported evidence for neurons changing how they respond to certain stimuli or ...

The human brain is constantly picking up patterns in everyday experiences — and can do so without conscious thought, finds a study of neuronal activity in people who had electrodes implanted in their ...

Artificial intelligence can share our natural ability to make numeric snap judgments. Researchers observed this knack for numbers in a computer model composed of virtual brain cells, or neurons, ...

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. Researchers at Australian ...

A patient under general anesthesia may appear completely disconnected from the outside world. But inside the brain, neurons could still be "listening" to stories, sorting words into categories, and ...
