New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially signaling a breakdown in the neural networks that support conscious awareness. By ...

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

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Why do we sometimes keep eating even when we're full and other times turn down food completely? Why do we crave salty things ...

Consciousness is one of the most enigmatic phenomena in neuroscience, but a new scientific perspective offers a different ...

New research from the University of St Andrews, the University of Copenhagen and Drexel University has developed AI ...

Neural networks trained with a camouflage detection step show enhanced accuracy and sensitivity in identifying brain tumors from MRI scans, mimicking expert radiologists. Study: Deep learning and ...

While such advances bring with them a breadth of knowledge, the immense complexity of the datasets makes it challenging for scientists to analyze them using current computational methods. Now, ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

This could be pivotal to helping people of all ages.
