Understanding the shape or morphology of neurons and mapping the tree-like branches via which they receive signals from other cells (i.e., dendrites) is a long-standing objective of neuroscience ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

The researchers used a consistent process to map how different regions of each person’s brain were connected, describing a “structural connectome.” For every participant, they measured several basic ...

MIT scientists found that what we see is strongly influenced by how alert or active we are. Parts of the brain responsible for planning and control send specialized signals that either boost or quiet ...

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. The brain is unimaginably complex. Google and Harvard recently announced ...
