A highly accurate model of how neurons behave when performing complex movements could aid in the design of robotic limbs which behave more realistically. A newly-developed, highly accurate ...

Princeton University researchers have captured among the first recordings of neural activity in nearly the entire brain of a free-moving animal. The three-dimensional recordings could provide ...

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that ...

Glutamate, often called the brain's "workhorse," is crucial for communication in the central nervous system (CNS). As the main excitatory neurotransmitter, it activates neurons, helping us learn, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned AI scientist and consultant. In today’s column, I analyze the recently announced ...

Most people wouldn’t give Geobacter sulfurreducens a second look. The bacteria was first discovered in a ditch in rural Oklahoma. But the lowly microbe has a superpower. It grows protein nanotubes ...
