Last year, Taylor Stanberry caught 60 Burmese pythons with her bares hands—a state record. But this self-taught hunter says ...

NEURON has been widely used as an empirically-based simulation tool, especially for multi-compartment conductance-based neuronal modeling. The network mediating feeding in Aplysia californica has been ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

The Australian biotech company Cortical Labs recently posted a video in which 200,000 living human neurons grown on a silicon chip played the 1993 first-person shooter Doom. The neuron-controlled main ...

NVIDIA unveiled DLSS 5 at its GTC conference this week, billing it as the biggest leap in computer graphics since real-time ray tracing arrived in 2018. Safe to say, it did not go down as well as it ...

Pulling some methodological tricks: Based on brain organoids such as this one – i.e., three-dimensional replicas of the brain measuring only a few millimeters in diameter – the researchers tested the ...

A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

A clump of human brain cells can play the classic computer game Doom. While its performance is not up to par with humans, experts say it brings biological computers a step closer to useful real-world ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right side can, after a turn, become a headwind. To stay on course, the fly's ...

Scientists from Academia Sinica and National Taiwan University, together with international collaborators, have developed a high-performance red fluorescent biosensor for lactate (lactic acid). The ...
