UCLA scientists, medical professors and graduate students are accustomed to presenting their research — into cancer, stroke, ...

It’s estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and cognitive. That ...

As fast as artificial intelligence can process information with its ever-expanding network of digital neurons—every line of code, every algorithm—it has yet to think with the efficiency of the human ...

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique that brings machine vision closer to how the human brain processes images. Called Lp-Convolution, this method improves the ...

New stem cell–based brain models from UCLA scientists show how a single epilepsy gene variant affects different brain regions ...

A new study shows that the brain activity behind decision-making is far more widespread across the organ than first thought.

Estimates suggest that these key cells, known as inhibitory interneurons, make up some 25% to 50% of the neurons in the adult cortex, the wrinkled tissue that covers the surface of the brain. In fact, ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

The researchers treated mouse serum with microplastics to form the microplastics that absorbed proteins, according to a ...

Recently, a neurotech company called Paradromics made headlines by successfully implanting its brain-computer interface (BCI) in a human for the first time. The procedure happened at the University of ...

Much has been made of the power of habit. We’re encouraged to make healthy choices our default and to understand the way that the brain sets certain tasks, such as our morning commute, on autopilot to ...
