The race to understand the brain has just crossed a threshold that once belonged to science fiction. Using one of the world’s fastest supercomputers, researchers have assembled a digital mouse cortex ...

The race to understand the brain has just crossed a new threshold, with a supercomputer-driven model that behaves less like a schematic and more like living tissue. Instead of treating neurons as ...

Biophysically detailed simulation of the whole mouse cortex neuron by neuron, with sub-cellular resolution—that is, capturing ion flows and fluctuations of membrane voltage within many compartments ...

BigBrain, a 3D digital reconstruction of a human brain, provides a first-ever high resolution view of the inner workings of the human brain that could lead to better understanding of how we think, ...

The very simulation technology that Dr. Steve Levine dedicated his career to developing became a literal lifesaver for him, with the help of his daughter—who also happened to be the inspiration for ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The Living Brain Project reveals how living brain samples reshape neuroscience and accelerate cures for mental illness like ...

The Allen Institute for Brain Science and the Blue Brain Project are deepening their collaboration. Today, the US-based Allen Institute is releasing a set of 40 computer models of neurons from the ...
