Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one has stopped using. Previously, this phenomenon was attributed to a decline ...

The finding reveals a previously hidden motivation for gnawing in mammals, which could help lead to more effective treatments for oral health issues in humans Study: A Touch-Guided Neural Circuit ...

A computer platform that runs on human neurons (and recently showed off said neurons’ ability to play DOOM) now wants in on the data center boom. Australia-based Cortical Labs announced today that it ...

What if the power grid could tell us how it's doing right now, in real time?That's the idea behind the new technology Entergy Louisiana will pilot to make electric service safer, stron. . .

AI can handle 94% of coding tasks, but software jobs are rising. The real shift isn’t unemployment but falling wages and fewer opportunities for junior developers.

Researchers challenge the long-standing "neural independence" theory, showing that learning actually makes neurons more coordinated.

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...

Take a look at gameplay and more from Neuron Activation in this trailer for the upcoming frantic rhythm-puzzle game filled with micro-challenges. Push buttons, flip switches, shoot targets and more in ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...

UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one, but at extremely low voltage. This allows for seamless communication with ...
