A new study is providing fascinating insight into how projections conveying sensory information in the brain are guided to their appropriate targets in different species. The research reveals a ...

A remarkable feature of the brain is that similar information is invariably represented in several parallel brain areas. It is therefore often unclear whether and how these different areas contribute ...

The neocortex is the largest and most complex part of the brain and has long been considered the ultimate storage site for long-term memories. But how are traces of past events and experiences laid ...

Over the next year, we should get a good sense of how the Cerebras CS-1 system performs for dual HPC and AI workloads between installations at Argonne and Lawrence Livermore labs, EPCC, and the ...

Most higher-order processing by the human and mammalian brain is thought to occur in the neocortex, a structure on the surface of the brain. Now researchers have found cells similar to those of the ...

If you were going to build an electronic brain in 2022, it might look something like the Neocortex supercomputer at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center at Carnegie Mellon University. That machine, ...

The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center has upgraded its Neocortex supercomputer with the latest generation appliance from Cerebras. The high-performance computing (HPC) cluster has been upgraded with ...

AFTER a series of experiments which demonstrated that an impairment of maze learning resulting from the ablation of cortical tissue was proportional to the extent of the lesion and not dependent on ...

The neocortex makes up the greater area of the cerebral cortex. It is divided into different regions (the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes) by the bone structure of the skull above it.
