A simulation that uses machine learning predicts neural-circuit function in the fly brain from the connectivity between neurons.

In a new paper, researchers describe a relatively accessible method for making a working -- though not thinking -- sphere of central nervous system tissue. The advance could provide an inexpensive ...

The Human Brain Project has just won a €1 billion research prize. Its director Henry Markram says the initiative will unify our understanding of the brain ...

The need for modeling in neuroscience is particularly intense because what most neuroscientists ultimately want to know about the brain is the model—that is, the laws governing the brain's ...

Unlike artificial language models, which process long texts as a whole, the human brain creates a "summary" while reading, helping it understand what comes next.
