Researchers shot lasers into brain cells and triggered illusions on demand—a breakthrough that’s rewriting how we see the ...

The human brain shrinks as it ages, affecting the ability to remember — it’s part of life. Yet there are a lucky few, called “SuperAgers,” who possess a brain that fights back. For these people, ...

USC scientists design brain-like neurons that learn in hardware, not software, paving the way for energy-efficient AI general ...

Learning to code doesn’t require new brain systems—it builds on the ones we already use for logic and reasoning.

Neuroscientists probing the boundary between sleep and awareness are finding many types of liminal states, which help explain ...

We've all experienced defeat at some point – losing a game, a potential new job, a debate. Now, a new study has found that the brain may learn from losing to others, with a specific group of neurons ...

It’s estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and cognitive. That ...

Researchers have long believed that neurons rely on glucose nearly entirely for fuel. The brain’s enormous energy requirements were presumed to be supplied by sugar alone, in contrast to muscle or ...

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the AI revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this ...
