We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

This innovative optogenetic technique allows for highly precise control of a key molecular mechanism that is altered in this neurodegenerative disease. Synaptic plasticity - the brain's ability to ...

Good news: it's possible to boost your brain's vitality with a simple, daily... and surprisingly enjoyable gesture. And no, it doesn't involve intensive exercise or endless Sudoku. The brain: a living ...

Memories of significant learning experiences—like the first time a driver gets a speeding ticket—are sharp, compared to the recollection of everyday events—like what someone ate for dinner two weeks ...

BISC is an ultra-thin neural implant that creates a high-bandwidth wireless link between the brain and computers. Its tiny single-chip design packs tens of thousands of electrodes and supports ...

The generation of transferable adversarial perturbations typically involves training a generator to maximize embedding separation between clean and adversarial images at a single mid-layer of a source ...

Lynne Peeples is a science journalist in Seattle, Washington. Near the end of his first series of chess matches against IBM’s Deep Blue computer in 1996, the Russian grandmaster Garry Kasparov ...

Emerging research is looking at the impact AI use has on our brains and whether it is just making us lazy or rewiring our neural pathways. Here's what the studies say.

New research finds that brain development is not linear. There are distinct phases with unique characteristics.

Changing levels of the brain protein KCC2 can alter how reward associations form, reshaping the learning process that links ...
