Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid ...
Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, ...
When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...
Beta and gamma inhibitory rhythms are preferentially tuned to govern synaptic integration in layer 5 pyramidal neurons by ...
When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide - cell by cell - what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do ...
In films like The Matrix and Ex Machina, the boundary between biological intelligence and machines dissolves. Human minds are ...
What makes the human brain so unique? A clue might come from a recent study that reports the discovery of new brain cells: ...
Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...
A new study published in Science has found that neurons in the brain do not follow a single strategy when learning. Instead, different parts of the same neuron—its upper and lower branches—adjust ...
The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...
