International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial ...

Brain cells are increasingly being found outside the brain, and now researchers have identified specific neurons in the abdomen that control some aspects of digestion. Not all brain cells are found in ...

A rare group of neurons can reconnect broken spinal circuits and trigger leg muscle activity after spinal cord injury—a ...

From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have discovered that turning brain immune cells into neurons successfully restores brain function after stroke-like injury in mice. These findings, published on ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps pain sensing nerve cells stay ...
