Scientists Put Human Gut Bacteria Into Mice and Found Their Brains Showed Primate-like Activity
Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...
It suggests that manual dexterity and brain evolution are connected across the entire primate lineage, from lemurs to humans. Notably, the correlation held even when human data were excluded, ...
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and ...
The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...
Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.
