A South Korean research group has reported in a new paper that artificial intelligence and light-based genetic tools can work together to diagnose and stop Parkinson’s-like disease in mice. The work ...

By spreading out tightly packed information in neural networks, a new set of tools could make AI protein models easier to understand.

Researchers identified three subtypes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, each with distinct mechanisms that could be future treatment targets.

Madeline Lancaster created the first brain organoids, which have revolutionised our understanding of how the brain works - but also raised ethical questions ...

It’s not artificial intelligence, but actual intelligence. Living neurons can solve profound problems while being ‘one million times more energy efficient than silicon’, one researcher tells Anthony ...

Zuzanna Stamirowska, Co-Founder and CEO of Pathway, is a researcher turned builder who previously worked on emergent phenomena and large-scale network evolution. Her projects were recognized by the U.

Suicide remains one of Africa’s most urgent public health challenges, mostly affecting young people. Despite being preventable, stigma, limited awareness, and scarce access to mental health services ...

A beta blocker called propranolol has become popular for tempering anxiety and is generally safe, but it isn’t without risks.

Stanford study finds rapid brain cell evolution boosted human cognition but lowered autism gene activity, raising vulnerability.

Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out how they contribute to brain functions. A novel study by MIT researchers at ...

Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying associative threat learning is essential for advancing behavioral models of threat and adaptation. We investigated distinct activation patterns across ...
