If you ever wondered what’s going on in your friends’ brains when they think about you, new research may provide a clue. It turns out that the brain activity patterns found in your friends’ brains when they consider your personality traits may be remarkably similar to what is found in your brain when you think of yourself, the study suggests.

A new algorithm could help Internet of Things (IoT) devices better select the optimal route for transmitting information, which could cut down on network congestion among these devices.

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered a new phenomenon in the brain that could explain the development of early stages of neurodegeneration that is seen in diseases such as ALS, which affects voluntary muscle movement such as walking and talking.

Scientists have developed a machine learning model that allows scientists to reconstruct neuronal circuitry by measuring signals from the neurons themselves.

In a recently published study, researchers demonstrated that after just one hour’s training with a Brain Computer Interface (BCI), significant changes could be detected in test subjects,’ brains, meaning that training with the BCI also has direct repercussions on the neuronal structure and function of the brain.

Researchers have focused in on neuronal circuits involved in memory, aiming to better understand the mechanisms of plasticity in the brain.

An unexpected finding from the Scripps Research laboratory of Xiang-Lei Yang, PhD, has illuminated a potential strategy for treating the inherited neurological disease Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), for which there is no approved medicine today.

Scientists have hypothesized that Parkinson’s disease can be divided into two subtypes: gut-first and brain-first.

Researchers report that they have successfully used a neural network to fill in data gaps for spatial analysis of chromosomes.

More than half of child deaths worldwide stem from preventable causes, such as adverse effects from malnutrition. A new study finds that child mortality significantly drops when children receive nutritional supplements rich in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.
