Survival of the fittest often means survival of the fastest. But the fastest doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest moving. It might mean the fastest thinking. When faced with the approach of a powerful ...

Quantum computers are computing systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects. These computers rely ...

Brain organoids – 3-D balls of brain-like tissue grown in the lab, often from human stem cells – have been touted for their potential to let scientists study the formation of the brain’s complex ...

As designers continue to propose ever-smaller, ever-more-complex circuits, the demands on inspection equipment push the limits of what today's cameras can provide. Bruce Butkus, product line engineer ...

New thinking and technological innovation help Janelia researchers piece together a complex map of the neuronal connections that flies use to detect motion. Janelia researchers have developed a new ...

Complex brain circuits in rodents can organize themselves with genetics playing only a secondary role, according to a new computer modelling study. Complex brain circuits in rodents can organise ...

Does the nervous system come with instructions for how it should connect to the body or must it figure this out during early development? A new model from researchers at the University of Southern ...

A new study offers a more restrained perspective on brain organoids suggested for lab experiments, by showing that widely used organoid models fail to replicate even basic features of brain ...
