A new deep learning algorithm identified key features underlying success in the art world. Researchers report a link between exploration and exploitation was associated with artistic success.
Study reveals the molecular mechanisms implicated in the regulation of toxic proteins in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
During the waxing period of the lunar cycle, men exhibited lower sleep efficiency and more time awake after sleep onset than during the waning period. By contrast, sleep patterns in women did not appear to change over the lunar cycle.
Researchers discovered mutations of the OPTN gene resulted in increased herpesvirus 1 growth in the brains of mice, leading to the death of local neurons. This resulted in accelerated neurodegeneration. OPTN deficiency was also associated with impairments in immune response. While these findings are specific to the HSV-1 virus, researchers believe the findings may apply to up to eight herpesvirus infections.
Study reveals cognitive control can drive cheaters to be honest, and honest people to cheat.
A transcranial magnetic stimulation study revealed the motor cortex may play a role in translating foreign language words into one's native tongue.
Engineers have created a new robot that models the mechanics of the strong punch of the mantis shrimp.
Findings reveal the relationships between socioeconomic status, brain size, and cognition are established early in life.
Squirrels have four main personality traits, researchers report. Understanding how an animal's personality influences use of space may be important for wildlife conservation.
Analyzing the gene activity of 66,000 cells from human brain tissue, researchers generated a comprehensive map of cell types associated with brain lesions in multiple sclerosis, and their gene expression patterns and interactions.
Machine learning algorithm produced fewer decision-making errors than professionals when it came to clinical diagnosis of patients.
Study reveals a correlation between instances of eye contact and higher levels of engagement during conversations.
