China Unveils ‘Darwin Monkey’, World’s Largest Neuromorphic Supercomputer
China has unveiled Darwin Monkey, the world’s largest neuromorphic supercomputer. With over 2 billion artificial neurons and 100 billion synapses, it mirrors a macaque brain’s complexity. Designed by Zhejiang University and Zhejiang Lab, the system could accelerate neuroscience simulations and advance artificial general intelligence while consu...

Overworked Brain Cells May Burn Out In Parkinson's Disease: Study
In Parkinson's, neuron overactivation could be triggered by a combination of genetic factors, environmental toxins, and the need to compensate for other neurons that are lost.

Could We Ever Retrieve Memories from a Dead Person's Brain? Neuroscientists Weigh In
Neuroscientists are exploring whether memories can be retrieved from a deceased person’s brain, but current research indicates significant challenges. Memories are thought to be stored in the brain as engrams, which are formed by groups of neurons in the hippocampus and other regions. While some studies have identified these engrams in animals, r...

Research Shows What Happens to Your Brain When You Watch a Movie
Neuroscientists have mapped brain activity in people watching movies, showing how different networks respond to scenes involving people, objects, and action. Complex scenes activated brain regions linked to executive functions like problem-solving, while simpler dialogues primarily engaged language processing areas. The study, based on data from th...

Researchers Develop Cell-Level Wearable Devices to Restore Neuron Function
Scientists at MIT have developed groundbreaking cell-wearable devices that mimic natural myelin to treat neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis. These micro-scale devices wrap around neurons and restore disrupted electrical signalling. They are battery-free and activated by light, allowing for non-invasive monitoring and modulation of neuro...

Researchers Create Innovative 3D Maps to Understand Octopus Arm Systems
Researchers at San Francisco State University have developed advanced three-dimensional maps of octopus arms, revealing their complex nervous systems. Led by Robyn Crook, the team used innovative imaging techniques to understand how octopus arms can function almost independently from the brain. These discoveries highlight the unique neuronal organi...

Largest Brain Map Ever Reveals 140,000 Neurons and New Nerve Cell Types in Fruit Fly Brain
A new brain map of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster reveals nearly 140,000 neurons and over 54.5 million synapses. Led by neuroscientists Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, the research has uncovered 4,581 previously unknown types of neurons. The project took over four years to complete, relying on AI-assisted electron microscopy.
