New AI technology can detect a patient's stroke depression type, and improve treatment options.
The stronger the hearing loss, the poorer hippocampal synaptic plasticity and memory ability become.
Researchers say measuring signals from a single neuron may be as good as capturing information from many neurons at once.
Neurons in the anterior intraparietal cortex learn to modulate their activity to compensate for errors in brain-machine interface tasks. Findings suggest the extent to which a person can learn a new skill is constrained by preexisting neural networks.
Researchers have developed a 3D printed robotic hand which is able to play simple pieces of music on a piano by moving its wrist.
Ketamine and exposure to 60-hertz flickering light show promise as a potentially new, non-invasive therapy to help rejuvenate the aging brain.
Superagers, people aged 95 and older, showed more activation between their left and right frontoparietal control network in their brains than their younger counterparts. The superior connectivity contributed to better performance on visuospatial cognitive tasks, a new study reports.
Stray, untrained dogs respond to gestures given by humans. The findings suggest that dog/human understanding may transcend learning.
Researchers have developed a new method, using diathermy smoke, to distinguish between malignant tumor tissue and healthy tissue during surgery.
Neuroimaging reveals those who have spent more years studying have increased cortical thickness in the medial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal areas of the brain. Researchers also identified enhanced gene expression profiles in these brain regions that promote information processing and provide protection against some age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
A new study reports the neurons that focus on coarse visual details could change to prefer finer details under different conditions. The findings shed new light on the neural mechanism that helps shape our perception of the world.
