A team of researchers discover how the stentor, an organism made of a single, gigantic cell, learns without a brain.

Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than ...

The single-celled Stentor coeruleus learns through CaMKII-driven protein modification, mirroring mechanisms found in the human brain.

Artificial neurons could open a pathway toward computing that resembles human brain power.

Brain study reveals memories stick when learning triggers a brief “energy emergency” in glucose-sensing neurons.

A startup is experimenting with data centers powered by lab-grown human neurons, testing whether living cells can offer a ...

Neurons that fire together, wire together” is not the full story. A novel mechanism explains how the brain can learn across ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...
