For more than eighty years, deep learning has relied on a simplified model of brain function. Now, a Pittsburgh startup ...

The axon of one neuron, a dendrite of another, and the gap between them are collectively called a synapse. LTP is the idea that synapses that are used often grow strong. That is learning. The ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

These soft, battery-free wireless devices, actuated with light, are designed to wrap around different parts of neurons, such as axons and dendrites, without damaging them.

Nura Bio aims to treat neurodegeneration with a small molecule designed to block SARM1, a novel target involved in axon degeneration. Following positive Phase 1 results in healthy volunteers, the ...
