Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

The team engineered the principle of spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), in which the brain adjusts the strength of connections based on the order of signal firing between neurons. This allows ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba and their collaborators have demonstrated that learning from both rewarding and aversive ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

CNW/ - MYndspan, the first company to offer clinical-grade magnetoencephalography (MEG) brain scanning to consumers, today announced findings linking ...

The brain's ability to adapt and form new neural connections allows it to recover from injury and maintain cognitive function into old age. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to adapt and ...
