Researchers have built an AI-powered model that traces how the brain’s electrical rhythms and physical wiring change together ...

What began with a sliver of brain tissue no larger than a grain of sand has culminated in a scientific achievement once deemed impossible. A global team of researchers has unveiled the most intricate ...

A figure from the research paper shows that both the model and experimental animals learned a task at a very similar pace. A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and ...

WPI researchers have used a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze anatomical changes in the brain and predict Alzheimer's disease with nearly 93% accuracy. Their research, published in the ...

Place cells—the hippocampal neurons discovered by Nobel laureate John O’Keefe, PhD—normally fire in crisp, rapid sequences that replay our recent experiences during rest, helping memories take hold.

Every day, your brain makes thousands of decisions under uncertainty. Most of the time, you guess right. When you don't, you learn. But when the brain's ability to judge context or assign meaning ...

Historical views of the brain reflect the biases of the time. The industrial age spawned mechanical explanations for the ...

A team of scientists at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) has published new evidence suggesting that the brain's protective shield - known as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) - ...

Current psychiatric diagnostic systems are based in long-standing observations and study in the field, careful consideration, and statistical verification over many decades. In the United States, we ...

A TTUHSC research team published new evidence suggesting that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains largely intact in a commonly used mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Ehsan Nozohouri (seated), a ...
