Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

Although large language models (LLMs) have the potential to transform biomedical research, their ability to reason accurately across complex, data-rich domains remains unproven. To address this ...

Scientists have developed a computer-based model that may explain how nerve cells become damaged in ALS, and how best to time ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

Using stem cells from patients with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Cedars-Sinai has created a lifelike model of the mysterious and fatal disease that could help identify a cause of the illness ...

With increasing model complexity, models are typically re-used and evolved rather than starting from scratch. There is also a growing challenge in ensuring that these models can seamlessly work across ...

Recent experiments have challenged the belief that glial cells, which compose at least half of brain cells, are just passive support structures. Despite this, a clear understanding of how neurons and ...
