A multiregional brain circuit allows larval zebrafish to track where they are, where they've been, and how to get back to their original location after being displaced, researchers report December 22 in the journal Cell. The results shed light on how larval zebrafish track their own location
A remote fear memory is a recollection of painful experiences that took place in the far past, from a few months to decades. The underlying mechanisms by which the brain consolidates distant terror memories have now been clarified by a University of California, Riverside mouse study that was
Scientists have labored for decades to understand how brain structure and functional connectivity drive intelligence. A new analysis offers the clearest picture yet of how various brain regions and neural networks contribute to a person's problem-solving ability in a variety of contexts, a t
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and other institutions have created a Flashover Prediction Neural Network (FlashNet) model to predict deadly fire events seconds before they occur.
Research has revealed how a pathway in the brain that typically provides signals to stop eating may be altered by early life trauma. The discovery, obtained from studies in mice adds new perspective to binge eating and obesity.
Researchers from the University of Jyvaskyla and the Central Finland Health Care District have developed an AI based neural network to detect an early knee osteoarthritis from x-ray images. AI was able to match a doctors' diagnosis in 87% of cases. The result is important because x-rays are
More than eight out of ten of those who have binge-eating disorder--which affects about 3% of Americans--also have children who were not abused, neglected, or subjected to other traumatic events.
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 10 (ANI/NewsVoir): Yusaku Maezawa (CEO, Start Today, Inc.) announced that 8 crew members and 2 backup crew members have been selected for "dearMoon", the first all-civilian project to fly around the Moon aboard Starship, a rocket being developed by Spac
The brain's plasticity--its capacity to change itself by reorganising preexisting neural networks and establishing new ones to acquire new functional properties--makes it possible to learn a new task, master a musical instrument, or adjust to the environment's constant change. Additionally,
The animal rights organization has made its stance clear against the animal testing carried out at the Twitter CEO's neurotechnology company, "Neuralink", and is even urging the users of the microblogging platform to call out Musk.
The Reuters report said the company has killed about 1,500 animals following experiments since 2018. However, the total number of animal deaths does not necessarily indicate Musk's company is violating regulations, the report said.
The underlying neurological mechanism that enables humans to feel empathy has been identified by researchers. Empathy is brought on by synchronised neuronal oscillations in the right hemisphere of the brain, which enables the creatures to sense and share each other's dread.
