The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in ...

BU neuroscientist and collaborators have developed a multidisciplinary approach using a new microscope, artificial intelligence algorithm, and voltage indicators to better measure brain activity. When ...

At the core of neuronal communication lie action potentials, brief, rapid electrical impulses that travel down the axon to transmit information for brain function. Abnormalities in neuron firing are ...

Crucially, the framework demonstrates that brain computation requires only about 1.26 times the Landauer limit, operating at ...

When studying the brain, researchers are just beginning to use a method known as voltage imaging to track neural activity in the living animal. While this approach is a promising way to better ...
