A new, more life-like physical model of microscopic nerve fibers called axons could speed up the discovery of medicines for ...

Meta AI describes a system that predicts fMRI-measured brain responses during naturalistic film viewing by jointly modeling ...

Researchers have mapped 30 million cells to create a definitive atlas of the human neocortex. This blueprint reveals how human brain development differs from other mammals and provides a roadmap for ...

Scientists have developed the largest and most detailed computational models of rat hippocampal and somatosensory cortex regions to date. They have released these models and the tools for their use to ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, offers a way to monitor brain activity without surgery or radiation by tracking changes in blood flow and oxygenation. Light sources placed on the scalp send near ...

Poor sleep is associated with an increased risk for dementia, but many sleep studies have had inconsistent results. For the ...

Relating brain activity to behavior is an ongoing aim of neuroimaging research as it would help scientists understand how the brain begets behavior — and perhaps open new opportunities for ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and Sanford Burnham Prebys explore genetic factors in separate papers ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. The deficits linked to AD are known to result from the ...
