Head injuries could be risk factor for developing brain cancer
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A very uncommon but frequently aggressive type of brain tumour called a glioma may be caused by damage, according to key molecular research from the UCL Cancer Centre. Although there may be a connection between head trauma and an increase in brain tumour incidence, the evidence is conflictin

Researchers how bacteria use electricity to communicate
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Bacteria use electricity to communicate and react to environmental cues, much like neurons do in human brains. To better understand antibiotic resistance, scientists have now found a mechanism to alter this electrical signalling in bacteria.

Is brain learning slower than artificial intelligence? Read on to know wha
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Artificial intelligence has traditionally been derived from human brain dynamics. However, as compared to deep learning, brain learning has several important limitations (DL). First, efficient DL wire topologies (architectures) have several tens of feedforward (consecutive) layers, whereas b

Study discovers anatomy that protects, monitor brain
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The human brain only reluctantly reveals its secrets, from the complexity of neural networks to basic biological functions and structures. Neuroimaging and molecular biology advances have only recently enabled scientists to study the living brain at previously unattainable levels of detail,

Researchers reveal short-term exposure to air pollution has rapid impact
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
According to a new study, common levels of traffic pollution can impair human brain function in just a few hours. The study was the first to demonstrate, in a controlled experiment using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), that diesel exhaust interferes with the ability of differen
