An international analysis combining brain imaging data from multiple independent studies has identified a common pattern in ...

For decades, researchers have been trying to understand the biological roots of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a common ...

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are artificial intelligence (AI) models inspired by how biological neurons communicate with ...

Humans and certain animals appear to have an innate capacity to learn relationships between different objects or events in the world. This ability, known as "relational learning," is widely regarded ...

Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) is a common cause of chronic vestibular syndrome. Although previous studies have identified central abnormalities in PPPD, the specific neural circuits ...

On 17 October 2024, Martina Lamberti publicly defended her Ph.D. thesis, "Know the Past to See the Future: Memory and Prediction in In-Vitro Cortical Neurons," at the University of Twente. Her ...

Exploring natural or pharmacologically induced brain dynamics, such as sleep, wakefulness, or anesthesia, provides rich functional models for studying brain states. These models allow detailed ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

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, ...

Scientists studying human neural organoids could only record and stimulate activity from limited regions because conventional flat electronics do not conform well to the tissues’ three-dimensional, ...

Pea-sized brains grown in a lab have for the first time revealed the unique way neurons might misfire due to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, psychiatric ailments that affect millions of people ...

A Spanish speaker learning English may say, “I have 20 years,” instead of “I am 20 years old.” This is a common mistake that ...
