Researchers have identified a 56 percent increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease for individuals living in areas with median levels of air pollution. The study…
Researchers have found that high physical activity in the workplace over the course of a career is associated with a higher risk of cognitive impairment…
Researchers have demonstrated that rats, through a novel brain-machine interface and virtual reality system, can activate hippocampal activity patterns to imagine and navigate to locations,…
Researchers from the University of Sydney and UCLA have developed a physical neural network that can learn and remember in real-time, much like the brain’s…
MIT neuroscientists discovered that deep neural networks, while adept at identifying varied presentations of images and sounds, often mistakenly recognize nonsensical stimuli as familiar objects…
New research suggests that adults aged 60 and older who engage in sedentary behaviors for over 10 hours daily have an elevated risk of developing…
A recent study shows that an 18-hole golf round or 6 km of walking can boost immediate cognitive function in older adults, with Nordic and…
Scientists have discovered a crucial region in rat brains, the frontal orienting field (FOF), that plays a role in decision-making under uncertain conditions. When this…
Neuroscientists from HSE University have questioned the conclusions of famous studies, primarily those by Benjamin Libet, that challenge the existence of free will. Libet’s experiments…
