Ageing slows neuronal protein degradation in mice, leading to widespread accumulation and aggregation of long-lived proteins, particularly at synapses. As neuronal clearance declines, microglia ...

Even a short afternoon nap can help the brain recover and improve its ability to learn. In a study published on January 22, ...

Even a short afternoon nap can help the brain recover and improve its ability to learn. In a study published on January 22, 2026, in the journal NeuroImage, researchers at the Medical Center - ...

AI"s inability to continually learn remains one of the biggest problems standing in the way to truly general purpose models.

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Abstract: Multi-Value Neuron with a periodic activation function (MVN-P) represents an evolution of the Multi-Value Neuron (MVN) by introducing the concept of l-periodic occurrence of the possible ...

Summary: A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their ...

UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one, but at extremely low voltage. This allows for seamless communication with ...
