Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

An analysis of how the human skin responds to images, sounds, and touch has suggested that the nervous system may respond most strongly to haptic (touch-related) sensations. However, the study's ...

Sometimes in the rush to explore our interactions with neural nets (often in the form of LLMs) we forget to think about our own operating system and how it works. Of course, scientists did spend a lot ...

Have you ever reached out in a virtual world—whether in a game, a training simulation, or even a video call—and felt the absence of touch? It’s a strange limitation, isn’t it? No matter how visually ...

Neurologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders affecting the nervous system; this involves the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
