A new “common-sense” approach to computer vision enables artificial intelligence that interprets scenes more accurately than other systems do.

New evidence suggests that a wide range of early onset psychiatric problems (from depression, anxiety and addictions to dyslexia, bulimia, and ADHD) may be largely due to the combination of just three factors.

Immune cells could be doing much more than we think in protecting our eyes, previously thought to be immune privileged – researchers uncover new details.

Researchers, working with mouse models, may have found the connection between unusual gastrointestinal inflammation and autism.

Research indicates the existence of an efficient process of sensory coding in rats, suggesting a general principle for optimal use of computational resources.

According to research, damage to a part of the brain that regulates hyperactivity can contribute to both memory problems and seizures in the most common form of epilepsy.

Researchers have identified the characteristics of more than 100 memory-sensitive neurons that play a central role in how memories are recalled in the brain.

Scientists in recent years have developed “epigenetic clocks” to measure biological age. In a new study, researchers used one such clock to ask two questions: How much does chronic stress accelerate that biological clock? And are there ways to slow it down and extend a healthy lifespan?

In a new study, a group of researchers at IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca investigated how, and to what extent, vision influences the development of hearing.

A new study has taken a world-first molecular look at the structure of black widow venom, which contains a subclass of neurotoxins called latrotoxins.
