When education is framed primarily as optimizing neural circuitry, we risk losing sight of the full complexity of human ...

Typing may be faster than writing by hand, but it’s less stimulating for the brain, according to research published Friday in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. After recording the brain activity of ...

Most children in elementary school begin learning about the body and how it works; however, research reveals that parents and teachers tend to leave out information about the brain. In fact, one study ...

Scientists have developed the largest and most detailed computational models of rat hippocampal and somatosensory cortex regions to date. They have released these models and the tools for their use to ...

Handwriting notes in class might seem like an anachronism as smartphones and other digital technology subsume every aspect of learning across schools and universities. But a steady stream of research ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly's visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

Researchers have developed a powerful new software toolbox that allows realistic brain models to be trained directly on data.
