According to a study recently published in GeroScience, older adults (62 and over) who lifted weights three times a week for ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

The brain is never completely at rest. Even without external input, it produces spontaneous neural activity that creates synchronized fluctuations across different regions - a process known as ...

Summary: Researchers have identified the causal circuits of OCD for the first time. Rather than relying on traditional ...

To map connections between neurons, researchers need to be able to generate electrical signals and monitor how they propagate across synapses connecting pairs of neurons. Conventional approaches to ...

Everything the brain does—from storing memories to interpreting sights to regulating emotions—requires energy, all produced by cellular organelles called mitochondria. However, surprisingly little is ...

Ultrafast functional Doppler ultrasound (fUS) is based on the principles of conventional Doppler ultrasonography but operates at an extremely fast frame rate. This significantly improves ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from "The Matrix," scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date—a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire off messages.

SEATTLE, WASH. — From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a ...
