Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial ...

International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

Neuronal Type Assignment from Connectivity (NTAC) transforms a connectome into a graph, and detects neuron types using ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

Aging is known to have profound effects on the human brain, prompting changes in the composition of cells and the expression of genes, while also altering aspects of the interaction between genes and ...

Researchers identify five specific neuron subgroups in the motor cortex most vulnerable to TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...

A large-scale atlas of mouse brain cells has revealed that aging does not affect all brain cell types equally. Some cell populations show dramatic shifts in gene activity between youth and old age, ...
