Researchers have achieved the first demonstration in mice of using gene therapy to reverse hallmark symptoms of SYNGAP1-related disorder, a devastating condition affecting an estimated 1 million ...

The six anatomical layers of the mammalian brain cortex show distinct patterns of electrical activity which are consistent throughout the entire cortex and across several animal species, including ...

In an exciting scientific first, researchers at the Allen Institute successfully designed a new gene therapy that reversed ...

Who needs a crystal ball when you’ve got artificial intelligence? Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a potentially game-changing AI tool capable of detecting subtle changes in brain ...

(NEW YORK) — Can a baby’s brain waves predict the chance of autism? New research that looked at brain wave patterns of babies and toddlers showed the answer is likely yes. A research group in Boston ...

New research shows that slow oscillations in the brain, which occur during deep sleep and anesthesia, are guided by neuronal excitability rather than structural anatomy.

Sleep and wake: they’re totally distinct states of being that define the boundaries of our daily lives. For years, scientists have measured the difference between these instinctual brain processes by ...

Understanding the link between brain activity and behavior is among the core interests of neuroscience. Having a better grasp of this relationship will both help scientists understand how the brain ...

Place cells are specialized neurons in a brain region known as the hippocampus, which have been found to fire when animals are in specific locations. These cells don't fire randomly, but their ...

As dementia becomes more widespread, Mayo Clinic researchers believe that artificial intelligence is the key to enabling earlier and faster diagnoses. By pairing AI and EEG (electroencephalogram) ...

Eat a balanced diet. You get lots of essential nutrients — like fiber and magnesium — from food. They can help support ...
