A team of neuroscientists at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in Lisbon, has been able to map single neural connections over long distances in the brain. "These are the first measurements of ...

Neurons in the human brain form an astonishing number of connections; it's thought that there are anywhere from tens of billions to trillions of links. Scientists that are seeking to understand those ...

Harvard affiliates developed a silicon chip that successfully mapped more than 70,000 synaptic connections from 2,000 rat neurons, advancing a new recording technology to complement existing neural ...

Connectomics, a rapidly evolving field in neuroscience, is transforming our understanding of the brain’s intricate network of neural connections. By mapping these complex pathways, scientists aim to ...

When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI and Weill Cornell Medicine has revealed how two cellular switches, Rab4 and ...

Sometimes in the rush to explore our interactions with neural nets (often in the form of LLMs) we forget to think about our own operating system and how it works. Of course, scientists did spend a lot ...
