Goodfire researcher Nick Cammarata argues nearly 90% of neurons in models like Qwen3-32B have one clear role, up from about 2 ...

Optogenetics, a groundbreaking technique, enables researchers to control specific neurons using light, providing insights ...

A new review highlights how the nuclear scaffold protein LaminB acts as a stress-integration gatekeeper in neurons, with ...

A population of neurons that engages mechanisms of the innate immune system during memory formation has been uncovered in mice. Surprisingly, inflammatory signalling might pave the way for long-term ...

A new PLOS Biology essay proposes that a neuron's capacity to maintain its subtype-defining gene-regulatory machinery may set ...

A molecular atlas of 89,494 mouse spinal neurons revealed 14 distinct groups within V1 interneurons, cells involved in coordinating movement. Loss of one small V1 subgroup was associated with slower ...

Singapore's first biologically integrated server rack began operating today at the National University of Singapore's Life Sciences Institute, running on 16 million living human neurons distributed ...

Nearly all the neural networks that power modern artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT are based on a 1960s-era computational model of a living neuron. A new model developed at the Flatiron ...

The human brain's billions of neurons represent a menagerie of cells that are among both the most highly specialized and variable ones in our bodies. Neurons convert electrical signals to chemical ...

From Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s hand came branches and whorls, spines and webs. Now-famous drawings by the neuroanatomist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries showed, for the first time, the ...
