A study by Wake Forest University School of Medicine found that even modest alcohol consumption can expedite brain atrophy and amplify the formation of amyloid…
Researchers hypothesize that a powerful type of AI model known as a transformer could be implemented in the brain through networks of neuron and astrocyte…
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have discovered that Caribbean box jellyfish, previously believed to be simple creatures, possess advanced learning abilities despite their basic…
The human medial temporal lobe (MTL), crucial for memory, varies significantly across individuals making its study challenging. A recent study used in-depth imaging on individual…
A Northwestern Medicine study challenges conventional beliefs about Parkinson’s disease. Previously, the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons was thought to trigger the disease. This new research…
The cries of newborns can stimulate the release of oxytocin in mothers, aiding breast milk production, as demonstrated in a rodent study by NYU Grossman…
Researchers have identified over 11,000 circRNAs in brain cells linked to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. These circRNAs may offer insights into the diseases’ molecular foundations and…
A new study using MINDWATCH technology found that music and coffee positively influence cognitive performance by altering brain arousal levels. The research seeks to foster…
Scientists have discovered that learning and memory rely on the structural, not enzymatic, functions of the CaMKII enzyme. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments…
Scientists have discovered that the human brain inherently uses Bayesian inference, a statistical method combining prior knowledge with new evidence, to interpret visual stimuli. This…
While AI chatbots demonstrate advanced language understanding, they can misinterpret nonsense sentences, leading researchers to question their role in vital decision-making and explore the differences…
Scientists have identified a new hybrid brain cell, sharing attributes of neurons and astrocytes. This discovery could settle longstanding debates in neuroscience about the role…
Scientists used MRI scans of children with isolated fetal ventriculomegaly and found evidence supporting an association between the condition and autism traits. The study followed…
Researchers are investigating the role of the brain’s nucleus accumbens in driving overeating and obesity. A recent study using rat models found differences in the…
A new study from Northwestern University has found a reverse “Flynn effect” in a large U.S. sample between 2006 and 2018, where ability scores in…
A spinal cord injury is a serious medical condition that occurs when there is damage to the spinal cord, the central structure of the nervous…
Machine learning of brain-behavior dimensions reveals four subtypes of autism spectrum disorder linked to distinct molecular pathways. Here, the 3D prism cube represents the machine…
