BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

Harvard Medical School neurobiologist David Ginty has won The Brain Prize 2026 for his career-long research on our sense of ...

Expansion microscopy enabled researchers to count the number of connections between neurons (green points on purple neuron). Neurons exposed to amyloid-beta formed more connections (SSBs = single ...

New neural network tools automate cell alignment and labeling in microscopy, achieving near-human accuracy and dramatically ...

A couple of years ago, a company called Cortical Labs released a video that showed a simplified version of Pong being played by a culture of human neurons in a Petri dish. The idea that a bunch of ...

The visual cortex is the part of the brain that enables visual perception. In this area millions of nerve cells, called neurons, process stimuli from the outside world. They only react when objects ...

Understandably, you're likely scratching your head, wondering how it's even possible for a petri dish to play Doom. Good question. The answer is the CL1, "the world’s first code ...

A scientist whose wife has incurable cancer has transformed microscope images of breast cancer cells into large-scale artworks for an exhibition to educate others and show there is "beauty in ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have revealed that a critical developmental process in the brain's hypothalamus might influence an individual's vulnerability to obesity.

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School, working with collaborators at Imperial College London and partners in Europe and the United States, have uncovered new insights into how an additional copy of ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.
