UCLA Health researchers have helped to develop a new digital toolbox to create a "common language" for brain network studies, ...
On this episode of Primer, we explore the world of biocomputing, where scientists are blurring the lines between the biological and synthetic.
Everything the brain does—from storing memories to interpreting sights to regulating emotions—requires energy, all produced ...
Leibniz Institute for Primate Research and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics have discovered ...
Often compared to a computer, the body's most complex organ operates using a code of electrical and chemical signals. These signals transmit through wires, nodes and networks to process and store ...
A popular hypothesis for how the brain clears molecular waste, which may help explain why sleep feels refreshing, is a ...
Marathon running causes a temporary decline in brain myelin content, but levels return to normal within two months. This ...
Sleep reorganizes neural patterns in a way that helps memories take hold and prepares the brain for new information.
Resilience relies on the brain’s ability to regulate emotion, adapt, and recover. Myelin plasticity helps speed up and stabilize resilient brain responses. Genes like FKBP5 and BDNF affect how people ...
A study reveals how the brain uses 'basis functions' to simplify social decision-making, impacting biases and teamwork ...
Humans have unique brain connections affecting emotions, social intelligence, and language, unlike chimpanzees or macaques.
How is an AI different from a neural net? How can a machine learn? What is an AGI? And will DeepSeek really change the game?
