Our mushy brains seem a far cry from the solid silicon chips in computer processors, but scientists have a long history of comparing the two. As Alan Turing put it in 1952: “We are not interested in ...
The evolution of brain processing capacity has traditionally been inferred from data on brain size. However, similarly sized brains of distantly related species can differ in the number and ...
A new study reorganizes 8,000 fruit fly neurons into 200 modular ground plans using dual regulatory gene sets.
Zhang and his colleagues found that specific combinations of neuron subtypes in the PFC project onto different brain regions to regulate different behaviors. In addition, the team identified one ...
Scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the EPFL Blue Brain Project have developed Neuron_Reduce, a new computational tool that provides the scientific community with a straightforward ...
While E. Josie Clowney would never suggest that neuroscience is simple, a new study by her team at the University of Michigan ...

An octopus keeps about two-thirds of its neurons in its arms, not its brain
An octopus distributes its nervous system in a way that no vertebrate does: only about one-third of its neurons sit inside ...
Comparing brains to computers is a long and dearly held analogy in both neuroscience and computer science. It’s not hard to see why. Indeed, there’s already a productive flow of knowledge between the ...
