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 ...

Biocomputing research is testing living neurons for computation as scientists look for energy-efficient alternatives to ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

It's an extremely ambitious goal. The post Scientists Preparing to Simulate Human Brain on Supercomputer appeared first on Futurism.

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) expert, serial entrepreneur, and noted software developer, Charles Simon, CEO of FutureAI has launched Brain Simulator II, a software platform for proving how Artificial ...

A research team has demonstrated how the energy levels of individual neurons in the brain change during so-called spreading depolarizations -- waves of activity that occur in various brain disorders.

The findings come from the most comprehensive computer model of brain metabolism to date, which incorporates more than 16,800 biochemical interactions between proteins and chemicals across brain cells ...

The human brain is an extremely active organ, requiring a constant supply of fuel. For a long time, sugar was considered its only energy source. Yet, a recent observation contradicts this established ...
