A controversial theory suggests that brain microtubules could contain quantum phenomena, linking your consciousness to the ...

Researchers have now shown that, despite individual differences in neuron activity, a shared underlying structure guides the ...

Verses demonstrates progress in leveraging AI models using Bayesian networks and active inference that are significantly smaller, more energy efficient, and honest than Deep Neural Network approaches.

New research proposes a unified theory of brain function based on criticality—a state where the brain teeters between order ...

Every decision begins invisibly. Long before someone acts, the brain is already hard at work gathering evidence, weighing ...

The neurogenesis rates of some olfactory sensory neuron subtypes are selectively accelerated in mice that are exposed to odors that stimulate those subtypes.

A recent research finding adds to evidence that brain inflammation is a major driver of neurodegenerative disorders such as ...
