Summary: Researchers have used a wearable MEG scanner to map brain activity in young children, providing new insights into brain development and conditions such as autism. The lightweight, adaptive helmet…
Summary: The researchers found that people easily learned to use a controllable, prosthetic "third thumb" to manipulate objects. The device, tested on a diverse group, improves motor skills and shows…
Summary: Researchers have produced the first complete chromosome sequences from non-human primates, revealing significant variation in Y chromosomes among species. This groundbreaking study provides crucial insight into the rapid evolution…
Summary: The researchers developed ConVERGD, a tool to precisely manipulate specific cell subpopulations, improving studies of cell diversity. The study demonstrates the utility of ConVERGD by identifying a norepinephrine neuron…
Summary: A new study reveals how our brain differentiates between music and speech using simple acoustic parameters. The researchers found that slower, even sounds were perceived as music, while faster,…
Summary: Robotics experts say AI technology can help alleviate loneliness. New research shows that AI companionship can offer social interaction and help people practice social skills, breaking the cycle of…
Summary: A new study reveals that the brain prioritizes remembering images that are more difficult to explain. The researchers used a computational model and behavioral experiments to show that scenes…
Summary: The researchers developed a method to measure synaptic strength, the precision of plasticity and the storage of information in the brain. Using information theory, the researchers discovered that synapses…
Summary: Researchers found significant gender-specific differences in brain development between boys and girls with autism aged 2-13 years. The study found that girls with autism had a thicker cortex at…
Summary: Researchers developed an AI model of the fruit fly brain to understand how vision guides behavior. By genetically silencing specific visual neurons and observing changes in behavior, they trained…
