Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Researchers have demonstrated that self-organization of neurons as they 'learn' follows a mathematical theory called the free energy principle. The principle accurately predicted how real neural ...

An international collaboration between researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan, the University of Tokyo, and University College London has demonstrated that self-organization ...

Researchers have investigated how highly organized patterns of neural activity emerge during development. Published in Nature Communications, an international collaboration between researchers at the ...
