New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially signaling a breakdown in the neural networks that support conscious awareness. By ...

Why do we sometimes keep eating even when we're full and other times turn down food completely? Why do we crave salty things ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

The health benefits of dietary flavanols appear to come from their ability to trigger responses in the brain and the body’s stress systems. That slightly dry, tightening feeling some foods leave in ...

New research from the University of St Andrews, the University of Copenhagen and Drexel University has developed AI ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

While such advances bring with them a breadth of knowledge, the immense complexity of the datasets makes it challenging for scientists to analyze them using current computational methods. Now, ...

The ability to synchronize brain activity with others may serve as a protective shield against the psychological fallout of ...

Modern neuroscience and the computational modeling of the activities of vast, integrated neural networks provide fruitful accounts of how our minds work and learn.
