Using CLASSIC, Rice researchers realized that circuits are variable, having multiple pathways to elicit the same outcome.

The brain cortex, the outside layer of our brain often referred to as grey matter, is one of the most complex structures found in living organisms. It gives us the advanced cognitive abilities that ...

Neuroscientists and computer scientists from Princeton University, the Allen Institute and Baylor College of Medicine have just released a collection of data that marries a 3-D wiring diagram with the ...

Researchers have developed a synthetic gene circuit that triggers the body's immune system to attack cancers when it detects signs of the disease. Researchers at MIT have developed a synthetic gene ...
