Biology-based brain model matches animals in learning, enables new discovery
A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

New clue explains how some injured neurons resist decline
Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...
Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in Down syndrome, according to new research my colleagues and I published in ...
Dennis Mathew is an associate professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno, and studies insect olfaction at the cellular and molecular levels. He is also a co-director of ...
A new study maps out a detailed atlas of all the cells involved in regenerating the zebrafish spinal cord. In an unexpected finding, the researchers showed that survival and adaptability of the ...
