The dominant theory in neuroscience has been that the sensory processing circuits in our brain are finalized in early childhood and fixed afterward. A recently published study, however, overturned ...

A study published in the journal Science Advances details a promising, new avenue toward improving awake brain mapping results by investigating the tiny, nearly imperceptible variabilities in patient ...

Case of the vanishing little grey cells Hercule Poirot, one imagines, would have been appalled. Not by any murder – that was his metier – but by what is happening to the “little grey ...

Identity Intelligence (I2) is a specialized field that merges diverse data sources to build comprehensive profiles of targeted individuals. Essentially, I2 has two main functions: uncovering the ...

Two Georgetown University Medical Center oncology professors published a new method for treating a lethal brain tumor in a Jan. 7 paper. In a Jan. 7 paper, Dr. Nagi G. Ayad and Dr. Robert K. Suter, ...

Obtaining clearer functional MRI data about the brain and its disorders is possible using artificial intelligence, according to Boston College researchers who reported recently in Nature Methods that ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

Restoring lost senses or delivering precise brain signals has required invasive hardware and can’t mimic the brain’s natural, distributed activity patterns. This platform shows the brain can learn to ...

Researchers have developed an automated method for growing lung organoids, making the process more efficient. Organoids, clusters of cells that contain the same cell types as full-sized organs, offer ...

Researchers created artificial synaptic vesicles remotely controlled by near-infrared light. Local nanoscale heating modulates membrane permeability, enabling precise neurotransmitter release. These ...
