While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

Couldn't eat another bite, but definitely have room for a slice or two of that oh-so-moist triple chocolate ganache cake? This is the paradox of the "dessert stomach." A new study from the Max Planck ...

Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that produces them. That vision is suddenly closer to reality, as glowing neurons ...

Unlike experimental neuroscientists who deal with real-life neurons, computational neuroscientists use model simulations to investigate how the brain functions. While many computational ...

A new collaboration has unlocked new potential for the field by creating a novel high-performance organic electrochemical neuron that responds within the frequency range of human neurons. Artificially ...

Modern artificial intelligence systems, from robotic surgery to high-frequency trading, rely on processing streams of raw data in real time. Extracting important features quickly is critical, but ...
