The neocortex comprises the largest part of the cerebral cortex and is the outermost layer that covers the structures of the brain. Comprised of four main lobes with specific functions, the cortex ...

The human body is an amazing thing. For each one of us, it’s the most intimate object we know. And yet most of us don’t know enough about it: its features, functions, quirks, and mysteries. Our series ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

The role of the amygdala as a key mediator of behavior has motivated great interest in understanding its complexity. There is, however, a dearth of information about how this complexity arises in ...

What makes us human? According to neurobiologists it is our neocortex. This outer layer of the brain is rich in neurons and lets us do abstract thinking, create art, and speak complex languages. An ...
