University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For ...

In 2024, researchers completed the first-ever map of the circuitry of a fruit fly’s brain. Despite its diminutive size, the organ packs almost 500 feet of wiring and 54.5 million synapses into the ...

Researchers have created one of the most detailed virtual mouse cortex simulations ever achieved by combining massive biological datasets with the extraordinary power of Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer.

Biophysically detailed simulation of the whole mouse cortex neuron by neuron, with sub-cellular resolution—that is, capturing ion flows and fluctuations of membrane voltage within many compartments ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can write an essay or plan a menu almost instantly. But until recently, it was also easy to stump them. The models, which rely on language patterns to respond ...

Imagine a future where your phone, computer or even a tiny wearable device can think and learn like the human brain -- processing information faster, smarter and using less energy. A breakthrough ...

The findings come from the most comprehensive computer model of brain metabolism to date, which incorporates more than 16,800 biochemical interactions between proteins and chemicals across brain cells ...
