In a path-breaking study, researchers have created artificial neurological junctions called synapses using a mix of water and salt, paving the way for the development of advanced computers that mimic the performance of a human brain. The artificial brain cells, developed by the team from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and Sogang University in South …
Microplastics, tiny fragments of plastic less than 5 millimetres in size, are a growing environmental contaminant. We now know they’re not just polluting our oceans and harming wildlife – they’re finding their way into our bodies, with a recent study revealing their presence in human brains. A new study published in the journal Environmental Health …
WASHINGTON DC: An international team of researchers has constructed a full-cell atlas of an entire mammalian brain for the first time. This atlas serves as a map of the mouse brain, describing the kind, location, and chemical information of over 32 million cells as well as information on cell connectivity. The mouse is the most …
Scientists at the University of Cambridge put physical constraints on an artificial intelligence system, similar to how human and other animal brains have to develop and operate with both physical and biological constructs. The system then developed some features of the brains of complex organisms to solve tasks. In a study published in the journal …
