Understanding the dynamic neural mechanisms of sleep-wake cycles is a major challenge in sleep science and neuroengineering.

Our nerve cells are surrounded by a protective layer (myelin). This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells incredibly quickly. But what happens when this layer goes missing from cells ...

Restoring lost senses or delivering precise brain signals has required invasive hardware and can’t mimic the brain’s natural, distributed activity patterns. This platform shows the brain can learn to ...

Scientists discovered that lowered brain energy signaling in the hippocampus can lead to both depression- and anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Stress reduced ATP, a molecule important for cell energy ...

Before a car crash in 2008 left her paralysed from the neck down, Nancy Smith enjoyed playing the piano. Years later, Smith started making music again, thanks to an implant that recorded and analysed ...

SAN DIEGO — Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of neuroscience, enabling scientific breakthroughs previously out of reach. New applications of AI and machine learning techniques ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Today’s neural implants are smaller than ever, but often remain ...

Abstract: Deep learning-based methods have achieved remarkable success in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). However, its inherent assumption of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) data ...

In 1977, a radio telescope in Ohio picked up a signal from deep space a transmission unlike anything ever detected before. It lasted only 72 seconds… but it’s never been explained. They called it the ...

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is highly prevalent and severely impacts daily life. The objective of this study is to investigate the genetic mechanisms behind brain function and ...
