Researchers report AI could learn to recognize objects in from just a few examples and may better model human cognition. Read More
Researchers have published the largest network to date of connections between neurons in the cortex, where high-level processing occurs, and have revealed several crucial elements of how networks in the brain are organized. Read More
A new study reveals unique connections within brain networks in children on the autism spectrum. Researchers say, in ASD, the amygdala shows marked differences in connection with the occipital cortex than in typically developing children. Read More
Researchers have created a 3D human retinal tissue from stem cells. Read More
Researchers create the first endocast reconstruction of nearly the complete brain of the hominin Little Bigfoot. The brain, researchers report, is relatively small and combines both ape like and human like features. Read More
Researchers use direct brain to brain communication to enable two people to play a game of 20 questions by transmitting signals from one brain to another via the internet. Read More
A new study from JHU researchers finds the brain can assign the value to an object in less than a tenth of a second; roughly the same amount of time as it takes to recognize an object. Read More
A new study reveals some brain systems in a dish, dubbed circuitoids, exhibit coordinated and spontaneous rhythmic activity that can drive repetitive movements. Read More
According to researchers, individual cells adjust to changes in their environment, but once the environment returns to its original state, the individual neurons reassume their initial response properties. Read More
The inferior temporal cortex is capable of performing tasks, such as distinguishing between real and nonsense words and picking out specific letters from words. Read More
Using holographic optogenetics, researchers were able to control visual behavior in mice by activating neurons in the visual cortex. Read More
Researchers report signals from the retina are subjected to selective processing at the earliest neural way-station in the functional pathway connecting the retina to the visual cortex. Read More
