This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...

Scientific research reveals a strong connection between sleep patterns and effective learning. Adequate sleep supports memory ...

Recent study investigates the pathophysiology of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in patients following cardiac arrest ...

So much science starts with deciphering a genome, the blueprint for every being on Earth. With such roadmaps in hand, ...

We might not think we remember something, but attempting to recall it still fires up activity in our brain linked to memory, ...

Older adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) face a higher risk of developing age-related dementias like Alzheimer's disease. Researchers from the University of Geneva have ...

It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. Why that is, was previously unknown.

The Neocortex AI system has been chosen to participate in the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) two-year pilot plan to democratize access to AI technology and research.

The neocortex stands out as a stunning achievement of biological evolution. All mammals have this swath of tissue covering their brain, and the six layers of densely packed neurons within it handle ...

Modern humans have a mutation that boosts the growth of neurons in the neocortex, a brain region associated with higher intelligence. This is absent in more ancient humans like Neanderthals, so it ...
